I also have the Google toolbar installed within IE and am starting to get very hacked off with how when I open a new tab, enter search terms in the Google search box, half way through the cursor flips up to the IE address bar and the rest of the input goes there. I've googled the issue, it is not unusual it seems, but there appears to be no clear solution (personally I reckon it is M$ who've set that up to garner search/advert income). Still it's flipping annoying as you often have to type in search terms twice over.
If I uninstall/reinstall the Google tool-bar the issue resolves but only for a few days. SOOO. I've thinking of trying out another browser. Does anyone have any suggestions. Firefox, Chrome.... A.N. Other?
Any suggestions or pointers would be much appreciated.
Try ctrl-B to get the bookmarks.sundaymorningstaple wrote:I use FF as well as my primary browser. I also have chrome installed at home and occasionally will use it but as I STILL cannot figure out a way to get the Bookmarks menu to stay open and useable I find it's too cumbersome still although it does load much faster. The footprint is just as big as FF though if you tend to use multiple tabs.
Both Chrome and Firefox has a "IE Tab" extension. This extension uses the IE rendering engine to display content in a tab in your FF or Chrome browser.JR8 wrote:Ok thank you, from reading through that I think I will give Chrome a go.
Looks wise if I can run it in parallel with IE until I am happy it can access everything I need.
