Well, issue is with TB. Not with Google.
such is that i understand.
They have effectively rendered TB's about:config , at least wrt default
search, a NOP.
hey, when one chases one's ass to keep up with competition, one tends
to run in a circle of crap. ;-)
read the link Ed G. provided. it is the new page i was going to look
for because my old bookmarks are redirected to a common page.
which is another crap circle because if the dev's can write a
redirected to a common page, they sure as hell could have made redirect
point to new page.
You and Ed missed the point - COMPLETELY!
It is NOT FF I am talking bout, nor searchin via FF.
Where in my response did I mention Firefox? When in the link did I provide is the term Firefox used?
In T-Bird, in preferences, under "General" there is a selection for "Default Search Engine" and a drop down list that includes Bing, Yahoo, Amazon, AOL, Ebay, Twitter, and Wikipedia.
It is my belief that you want to add "Google" to that list and you convinced yourself that in order to do that you go to "Advanced-->General--->Config Editor" and manipulate the various entries.
You can't. And you're not meant to be able to.
You can install the extension of T-Bird.
Well, by "you can't" simply underscores what I was saying to "g",
i.e. the about:config changes for each engines is a NOP.
The problem with all of these extensions is that they provide functions
that should be built-in to the browser.
Also, another problem with extensions is that at a certain point, they
become incompatible with a future release of TB (and this has been
clearly underscored in the case of FF extensions).
So, I want to drop this because it is not going anywhere that I want to go.
Peace,
JD
