Title: Two computer questions
Post by: RED-DOG on January 15, 2009, 09:38:37 AM
Does firefox make a noise when it blocks a pop up? I keep getting that camera-shutter/click on a link type pop up blocking shlick/click noise, and as far as I know firefox is the only pop up blocker I'm running.

I forgot the second question while I was typing the first one.

Mmmm, I don't get a noise when it blocks pop-ups.  I don't think I do anyway.

I don't think I have google toobar, if I have, I didn't ask for it. How would I tell, would it be in my programmes?

I normally have firefox muted but I'm pretty sure it doesn't make a noise when it blocks popups

Nope! I don't got that.

I've remembered the other question now. How do I stop google from anticipating what I'm going to type into the search box?

Right-click in the search box, untick Show Suggestions.

This will still suggest things from your previous searches, but not from the whole of Google.
