Firefox questions

Lo all..........couple of questions.
How do I get rid of the 'bookmarks toolbar' & can anyone point me to a good FF spellchecker?

Re: Firefox questions

Glad you decided to move to Firefox Ramrod.
Out of interest, does anyone use Portable Firefox?
http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/portable_firefox/

I installed it on my USB key the other day and now use it when I'm in work or college - the ability to use the same set of bookmarks and cookies is excellent.
I recommended it to my mates who thought it was really useful.

Yep.....thought I'd give customising it a concerted effort and I'm about there now

My one gripe is that it hasn't got the range of tool bar themes that I have available for I.E. (using Y's toolbar)

Re: Firefox questions

Toolbar themes?
If you want themes then go here:

There are 83 themes there. That's not enough for you?

Yeah I use it- but only if a PC is so ****ed IE doesn't work, so I can troubleshoot on the net.

Re: Firefox questions

If Firefox is supposed to be standards compliant, how come it can't render this properly?

I remember seeing someone else mention that and by all accounts there are quite a few browsers that fail it.
