Same here. It's a built in Mozilla/FireFox feature. (as I said)


The google toolbar extension adds lots of other things like the "search this site" option, google groups search, translate page and all that. It's really a very handy extension. I don't see any place where that's possible from within the base install.

The middle mouse button does it too ... or maybe I changed it and just don't remember

Thanks for the tip (perhaps one of the most useful tips I've seen in years).

THIS is one of the best tips ever

On the topic of FireFox...get Adblock and one of the Extensions for Mouse Gestures, they're handy tools.

I'm trying to get to grips with mouse gestures at the minute. Very, very handy, and hopefully in time it will become second nature to me. (im still having to look at the status bar to make sure I haven't gestured for the self destruct feature)
