I'm a greybeard, too, but it doesn't hurt to consider many tactics to get the answers you want. And if your question and its answer(s) contribute back to the community pool of knowledge, all the better. No offense was meant. Well, some questions were related to "I'm trying to learn this darned GNOME desktop thing." and some were Thunderbird and some are probably related to the GNOME VFS thing I know little about and some are related to the Nautilus UI. All related, but perhaps more or less so. I guess I missed the common thread. > Perhaps "General Desktop Questions" is a bit too broad, but creating > five different posts for basic questions about the desktop that I > wasn't sure were my usability difficulties or otherwise. It's a fair argument, I agree. I was just suggesting how you might get broader response. I could be wrong. It wouldn't be my first time ;) > For example, in Windows Firefox I can type a Google search term in the location bar, but not in FC13. Is this configurable? I'll betcha it is. What have you tried? Where have you looked? I typed "configure Firefox address bar for Google search" into my address bar, as apparently I've already done the thing you're looking for. The first link, http://www.techzilo.com/search-google-address-bar-firefox-google-chrome/, which brought me an alternate suggestion to what suvaya ali suggests. My about:config setting for keyword.URL is set to: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= and that works for me. > I've got a basic font question, but will open a new thread for that :-) Great idea!
