How To Make Firefox The Most Useful Web Browser There Is

Step 7 Adding Search Engines

Now, if you noticed, there is a little search bar in the upper right hand corner of firefox. There should be a small G in it, the google symbol. Click on it, and you will get a list of search engines. To add a search engine, click on the G, select manage search engines, and the click "Get More Search Engines" You can then install the search engines from there.

But, let's say you want a search engine that is not on the list, like an instructables search engine. Go to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/, type in the name of the site, in this case instructables, select it from the list, and press add when prompted.

I'm running version 3.6.10 Firefox and when I clicked on the tab it automatically had Instructables listed, all I had to do was acknowledge it. I haven't tried it with any other sites yet.

The Beta version of Firefox 4 is available, and it did much better, it actually went back to original, found my most visited, and automatically made them bookmarks, without me importing old info.

Chrome does the same thing, I type In and then I just hit enter, I don't even have to click the down arrow or the actual drop down, it just auto goes in unlike any other browser.
