The spell checker is rather neat. No excuses for crappy spelling on the forum anymore!

I'll have to wait until the guys at Debian release Iceweasel 2.0

Still can't move the "go" button.

Put this in your prefs.js file with Firefox closed, then start it again:

user_pref("browser.urlbar.hideGoButton", true)

prefs.js is in your profile folder, if it doesn't exist just create it in a text editor...

That's if you want to get rid of it of course, but where would you want to move it to?

I know how to get rid of it [about:config >> change browser.urlbar.hideGoButton to TRUE]

But I'd much prefer it in a more sensible place, below the bookmarks menu item, at the front of the address bar, grouped with the other buttons. Like I used to have it in all previous versions of FF/FB :/

Seems silly, it's now attached to the address bar

Why don't you want to just hit enter when you've typed in a url?

I always thought the Go button was pointless.

v0id · 24-10-2006, 21:10

I do, but I'm lazy and don't want to move my hand off the mouse once I've already pressed Enter after typing in the address, if I need to refresh the page. I kind of used to use it as a Reload button

I just moved my reload button instead, something I never thought of moving before. DOH!

Good idea if you have to use it!

Otherwise looks like you'll be waiting for Fx 3 until it may be separated again....

marking fixed-as-its-gonna-get1.8.1 so it falls off queries. Might be worth
splitting off into a new bug to discuss a more general approach that solves
this for endcaps in general for Fx3

Nightly testing tools will make it compatible with FF2. Whether it works as it should, is not certain though. Though only one of my extensions failed using this extension when I changed to FF2, so it is good.
