    But does it work on IE?

  2. Firefox and Searchbars... by Krankheit · · Score: 0, Troll

    I recently switched to Firefox because my ISP told me it would make my computer faster (something to do with the Internet breaking my computer?) I will tell you that this new Firefox VPN doesn't have the popups that Microsoft's Internet had, but I miss the search bars. It is good that Google ported their searchbar from the Internet to Firefox because before I had to use the Internet to do my search, then quickly close it before hackers could get in. I think it would help the tech community alot if more companies would port their Internet searchbars to this new Firefox VPN. I miss the porn searchbars I could use when I used the Internet to explore. Does anyone know of any other searchbars for this new Firefox? I can't to try tabbed searchbars in Firefox.

    Just RTFFAQ! Quoth google:

    Does the toolbar work with Mozilla/ Netscape/ Linux/ Firefox/ AOL or MSN?

    We decided to first release the Google Toolbar in Microsoft Internet Explorer. We are examining the feasibility of offering a toolbar that is compatible with other browsers such as Netscape and Mozilla; however, this version is currently unavailable. We apologize for this inconvenience and will keep this suggestion in mind for future versions of the Toolbar.

    The story just has a link to a blog - a blog! - and some auto-install software, which is fishy. Don't belive it!
