Re: [FireFox] Google Button for Firefox Needed
I do not use the throbber myself but MTLI does enable that feature for those that use the extension.
I like Fission Extension for the page progress.
Edit* Fixed spelling.

MTLI 5.3.1.1 also enables the throbber click, and it even honors the old browser.throbber.url setting. |

It is not clickable in Fx 2.0 but the extension posted by wheeled gives it that function.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but looks like in Firefox 2 the throbber isn't clickable, even if you manually add the entry for it in about:config. |

In about:config search for "browser.throbber.url".
If it doesn't exist create it as type "string" with the value of your choice. In my default installation its value is "http://www.mozilla.org/".

Your welcome for the suggestion.
I do not use the throber myself but remembered you could use it for whatever site you wanted.

Thanks Grail Knight,this would do nicely. i followed the link and directions you supplied and entered "throbber" in the filter menu of about:config. this action comes up a blank in search results,is there a way to create a value for this to modify.
in FF 1.5,pressing it would take me to FireFoxes site...clicking it now has no result although it does animate when when i surf. could it have a different name in 2.0?
Answer Found
i found the answer here as well as the add-on.

Why not just change the url for the Throbber so it opens the particular Google link you want?

A Google button for what? Google has lots of services.
And are you saying that you'd rather have the link/bookmark in your Nav Bar vs. having it in your Personal Bookmarks Toolbar? |
