The quick find and the regular find have 2 different styles. If you press ctrl +f you get the button. if you press / or ‘ you get the quick find input only.

Hello, in FF2.0, I do not have an address bar, only a long search bar. So I cannot type urls directly but must go through Google (or another search engine). I have not been able to find a customization that returns the address bar.

I have exec’d View –> Toolbars –> Navigation –> Reset — still no URL bar.

I have no interest in sending my URLs through a search provider.

Can you help, thanks.

Can you change what shortcut Quickfind uses? For some reason in Gmail Chat it kept popping up whenever I tried to use an apostrophe. Closing the window and reopening it seemed to fix this, but it seems like it would just be easier to switch the shortcut key in case this happens again.

I didn’t know the default refresh rate for live titles is 30 minutes. Thanks for the tip!

Iâ€™m looking forward to seeing live graphic titles, AKA â€œgraphical microsummariesâ€ in Firefox 3 (http://wiki.mozilla.org/GraphicalMicrosummaries). Imagine a live graphic, like a bar graph or a pie chart. That would really be great. The problem with live titles is that they are so hard to explain. To help explain live titles to new users (and show them how to add them to Firefox), I created a short video tutorial here: http://usefulvideo.blogspot.com/2007/02/little-known-firefox-feature-live.html

To adjust the size of the search toolbar and align it to the right/left/centre (as was possible with Firefox v1.5), do the following:

Edit the userChrome.css file to include

#search-container, #searchbar { max-width: 150px !important; width: 150px !important; }


Then add 'flexible space' by customising the toolbar within firefox. It should then align itself correctly depending where you put the 'flexible' space.

You can adjust the max-width and width parameters within the userChrome.css file to your liking, just make sure the values are the same.

[...] Firefox 2 brings a lot of usability enhancements that some old time users may found intrusive. While you get used to this changes you may want to try some customizations to better suite your taste. [...]

[...] Tweaking the Quick Find bar By Percy Cabello | | | Jan, asked in the comments how to change the Quick Find bar latency, that is, the time the bar remains visible after you stop typing. Specially after restoring the bar buttons (Next, Previous, Highlight) it makes sense to add some more time to be able to comformtably grab the mouse and press the appropriate buttons. [...]

Solved. I’d edited the programs file rather than the user file.

Thanks for the quick response. I went ahead and renamed the file, adding the rules to the bottom, but nothing’s changed. I still have the search and all tabs buttons. Anyone have success with this?

Just rename the “userChrome-example.css” file as “userChrome.css” and then add the new rules to the bottom of it. :)

Where do I find the userChrome.css file? I found a couple named userChrome-example.css, but not the former. Thanks.

Hey, a zh-TW technical blogger pointed out that we should not teach end-users to bypass security design. Instead, you should ask end-users informing webmasters to upgrade their servers.

Firefox 2.0 (annoyingly) removes the next/previous buttons etc from the quick search bar, that pops up at the bottom of the browser.

They can be restored by adding the following to your userChrome.css file:

#FindToolbar > *
{
display: -moz-box;
}

IMO, the UI has really taken a step backwards by being overly simplified.
