Hello everyone.

I've installed the Preference Bar extension for Firefox but am in a muddle as to how to work it.

If I have a tick in the box against, say, Flash or pop-ups, is this allowing flash and pop-ups, or preventing them? I attach a screenshot of the bar.

Sorry to be so "dim" about this. I've read the help that comes with it but am no wiser!

Bye,
Penny.

Just installed PrefBar3. Thanks for the referral. Looks like the tick in the box means its on, operative. When I added Animation thru customize, it then appeared on the bar with a tick in the box. Soooo, its at least suggestive that that is the function.

I think I'm going to have to give this a look see. I'm a premium member at Bill O'Reilly's web site and I'm going to pass this post on to the people that use "Firefox." Here O'Reilly's web site here if your curious.

Hello Mary Ann,

I like the hands clapping.

Think someone mentioned a lot of smilies as a Firefox extension. Going to see if I can find them. If I can't, I'll come back and ask.

Bye,
Penny.

Tuppence et al,

I am one of the people who know little beyond IE & OE but have been steeling myself to take the plunge & enjoy tab browsing with Firefox.

The above tips will save me significant time, thank you

If any of you have any advice regarding installation etc I would be sincerely grateful.

Foxfire

Not a marvel. I just read the manuals/Help. Had to. As self taught computer user without a clue, I discovered an amazing thing- some of the program instructions are really helpful. Go figure.
