Stoopid frelling Firefox. For no discernable reason, the search box up on the right-hand corner is broken. Furthermore, I cannot save bookmarks. I just trashed it and reinstalled but the problem is still with me. I guess I'm going to have to try salvaging my bookmarks from my profile and trashing that. I don't wanna, though.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Did you try re-customizing just that toolbar?

I ended up going to the Firefox FAQ and learning that I could use MacOS X terminal to restart in safe mode. The search box worked in safe mode so it seems one of the Firefox plug-ins must be the culprit. I restarted supposed in safe mode but with extensions enabled and the search box is working now. I suspect that when i need to restart Firefox, the problem will show up again and I'll have to chase down which particular thing broke. But it will be a nice learning experience.

Reinstalling Firefox to fix my problem loading Amazon.com didn't help. I created a fresh install with a new profile and also tried safe mode, but it's still not loading reliably.

I have to say that I haven't heard anything good about the XPS machines, and I have heard some very bad about them.
The DH and I both have XPSs, for over a year now, and no real complaints. One of my hard drives was faulty, but that was easily fixed.
Just as a datapoint.
Question for the Hivemind: Is there any way to collect all news articles on the internet about a certain topic? Even if some of the articles are in, say, Greek, and some of the sources don't do RSS feeds (bastards!)?
I have a research project for work, and instead of going to 15 websites every day I was hoping to find some way to bring the newsy goodness to my door.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
HiddenSky, my work XP computer has Firefox 1.5.0.1. Amazon is still working fine.
Do you have SP2 installed? All the latest Windows updates? That's the only other thing I can think of....

Does anyone know how to copy a filtered list from excel into word? Copy & paste just seems to give me back the rows I don't want.
