@a06lp, the way i see it firefox has more possibilities than ie, if you want to take advantage of some of them you'll need to place a few extensions/themes on a dir and run a batch that is what i do (isn't it easy?). now you only want your browser with your favorites, as easy as download 1 of the first post silent installations and copy bookmarks.html to your profile folder. again for me this is as clean and simple as use xcopy command (the same way you would do it with your .url favorites). now about googlebar, well, for me it sucks because most of its functionality is provided by the search bar on firefox. you can also select to search on google, yahoo, the imdb and msfn (!). i don't want to make people move from ie, but again the way i see it, you can obtain a LOT without charge.
