    Egg-on-face.

    I discovered that Googlebar Lite has been updated to work on FF3. Does everything I want from the Google Toolbar.

  4. Re:Does it fix the friggin' clipboard bug? by courtarro · · Score: 1 · on Firefox 1.5 RC2 Available
    I will point out that this is not necessarily a problem with different click behavior, but primarily a problem with cursor behavior. If you'll run IE and hold your mouse over the address bar, you'll see that it's a standard arrow pointer, and if you click once, it selects the whole box. You must then click again to deselect and once more to begin your selection. This is exactly how Firefox behaves by default, except that in FF the cursor is an I-beam when you first hold the mouse over the address bar, which has the undesired effect of suggesting that you can immediately begin selecting.

    That said, you can fix/change this behavior in FF. Go to about:config and add/change the value of "browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll" to false. To solve your higher-level goal of reducing urls, I use Googlebar Lite, which has a very useful "up one level" button that neatly trims pieces from the url each time you click it. Give it a try.

  5. Googlebar Lite by jgbishop · · Score: 1 · on Google to Release Firefox Toolbar

    Try my extension, Googlebar Lite. I've improved on Googlebar's search word buttons by playing a sound (like the IE toolbar) when the search word is not found on the page. http://www.borngeek.com/firefox/googlebarlite/

    If the Googlebar project seems a little bloated to you, try Googlebar Lite:
