    no -squizzle- and -deezp1-, it just takes you back to whatever your home page is.

    I've searching for an answer so as soon as I find one you will be the first to know.

    Thanks man, I just go a hold of eBook of FF hacks, maybe it will be in there, but I doubt it. Those "hack" books usually suck, they are only good if your a noob. if its there I post it later.

    I figured it out, YEAH!!

    to stay within your current page highlite the url in your address bar and press Alt and Enter at the same time. This will keep you on the same page.

    Tell me if anyone else has experienced this:

    I haven't run adaware or spybot in like 2 weeks. I ran them both today. No spyware found and 1 adware found - an IE cache. At first I thought those programs weren't running right. Then I started thinking - maybe Firefox....

    Firefox is not a adware. Maybe somthing you downloaded while you were in IE.

    Hey guys, This tread inspired me to look for more tweaks for Firefox and I ran into the motherload of tweaks, tips, and shortcuts. So decided start a new thread dedicated to Firefox Tips and shortcuts here -> http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/184257

    I have to give geestar20 props though, I always knew Firefox is highly customizable, but after this tread I though I would do some research to see how much it is.

    I wasn't implying that firefox was adware, but that since using firefox I haven't had any adware or spyware on my computer. The only adware I found was an IE cache something-or-other, probably from a link I opened up from an email. Sometimes that still uses IE.

    so you really think firefox runs that clean? Because I was wondering if adaware and spybot programs were not doing their jobs.

    Oh hell yeah, when I used IE, I would have to run adaware and spybot like 2 or 3 times a week and I would get tons of spyware, now that Im on FF, I barely run them once a month and wouldnt get anything. I think it is that good!

    what's the purpose of that? That has nothing to do with Firefox at all.
