Re: Cant use search in Firefox
The google search box isn't a plugin, it is a standard feature.
Have you got extensions to use a different type of search in there, eg dictionary.com etc?

Re: Cant use search in Firefox
What does it actually do... nothing, error screen, close browser, make your microwave switch on?

Re: Cant use search in Firefox
Are you pressing enter after you have typed what you want?
What do you get if you press the down arrow in the box?

Have you tried a different theme? It may be that the theme is broken in some way.
Try the default Firefox theme first.

It works on the deafult theme, but not on the Noia 2.0 Extreme.

Looks like FoxyTunes. I use it, it's quite good. Lets you control WinAmp/WMP/ITunes etc from within FF.

I use FoxyTunes to listen to my music through the browser, rather than actually starting ITunes.

Re: Cant use search in Firefox
Wayne,
If it works in other themes, I would get rid of that them close FF and get a new version of the theme, if that fails it is a flaw in the theme.
Like charamel, had a flaw, now the only flaw is the website.......I can' get my charamel!!!!!
