Re: I use Firefox John M. Drescher18-Apr-06 11:08 John M. Drescher 18-Apr-06 11:08  This was one of my reasons I moved to firefox (> 1 year ago). My IE kept being hijacked by spyware that installed toolbars that I did not want...

I have been using it for months and I don't know where I would be without it now. Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me. Re: I use Firefox ian.coetzer22-Apr-06 11:05 ian.coetzer 22-Apr-06 11:05  Hi I use IE 6 + Firefox at work I use IE 7 + Firefox at home In other words Firefox is a must for me. What is the web developer toolbar for??? I.W Coetzer Re: I use Firefox Boro_Bob23-Apr-06 22:39 Boro_Bob 23-Apr-06 22:39  The Web Developer toolbar gives you lots of control over how the page is displayed so you can simulate the different ways users might see the page, say for example by hiding images or disabling javascript. It also has links to html and CSS validation, can outline block level elements, which is usefull when you are having problems with a CSS design which isn`t behaving as you expect. There is also a Javascript Console built into it which displays errors in Javascript and also CSS. There is much more included, you just need to download it and spend some time playing with it. I recommend it. Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

Highlighting and form auto-fill are also useful. Kevin Re: I use Firefox Max Baburin21-Apr-06 3:02 Max Baburin 21-Apr-06 3:02  Ye I use google toolbar with firefox too Anyone ever use UltraBar? Michael Dunn17-Apr-06 20:23 Michael Dunn 17-Apr-06 20:23  A few years ago, I wrote the first version of UltraBar[^], which copied a lot of the Google toolbar's features (this was back when the Google bar was pretty new, and spyware hadn't given toolbars a bad name). And it was customizable, you could add your own search engines and a couple other neat things. I don't think the company ever went anywhere... --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP LINKS~! Ericahist | NEW!!

This weekend I spent a couple hours cleaning up my Dad's computer. Tons of spyware, including spyware that advertises spyware protection (!); the Microsoft anti-spyware "solution", which expects my poor Dad to authorize every change made to teh system (including those made by toolbars), anbd of course, several toolbars, media palyers, and download managers that he had never requested or authorized. This stuff is all junk. Web Developer Toolbar IE jesseh212117-Apr-06 5:57 jesseh2121 17-Apr-06 5:57  If you are a web developer then you will probably want the Web Developer Tool bar available for IE http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e59c3964-672d-4511-bb3e-2d5e1db91038&DisplayLang=en[^] There is also a similar one for FireFox that I would recomend. If you'd asked me a few months ago... Colin Angus Mackay17-Apr-06 2:34 Colin Angus Mackay 17-Apr-06 2:34  I'd have said none. Howver, since discovering the MSN Deskbar (you can turn off the useless crap on the bar) it's been great. It also gives me a Desktop search in the task bar which is way better than Google's piece of crud.

John Kendrick17-Apr-06 7:32 John Kendrick 17-Apr-06 7:32  I did the same as you. However, I still like the Google for web searching, so I tell the MSN Toolbar to pass all Web queries to Google using the Other Search Service option. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=$w Re: If you'd asked me a few months ago...

I only have the bars installed in IE, I try and keep my FireFox down to the bare bones - it uses enough memory as it is. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^] Re: Code Project Bar?

But, sadly, only for IE. Since I installed FireFox, I have never started IE again. Re: Code Project Bar?
