I feel like I am being watched....is that even possible? I don't have a webcam so I don't think I am being watched...it just 'feels' like I am.

Electricity is just Organized Lightning. Posts: 883 Group: Members Member #15,646 Joined: March 30, 2004	that's what i first thought he was talking about but he says "there is a bar that is covering most of it up and at either end of the bar is an arrow" ...so I am guessing you deleted all your search engines from firefox? Go here: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ce...central-engines and add engines... you'll see how functional that bar is. (It has nothing to do with the green button though, that just works as return button for addresses in the left bar.)

i;m a mess Posts: 6,147 Group: Members Member #451 Joined: January 25, 2003	Umm, i have that button. It is just 'Go' and if you click it, it does the same job as pressing Enter when you enter a URL into the URL bar.
