I've wasted plenty of time looking for it, and its not in any of the more.../even more... links. Argh - don't they want FF users signing up for gmail or something? I want gmail 1st up but have to sign in before I can get a link to it? crazy. Sure this is easy to get around, but specially those early starts or when you've been working way too long or just concentrating on something else its very annoying that sometimes the link is there (google vanilla) but invisible, sometimes its there and visible (FF start page, signed in already) and sometimes its not there at all (FF start page not signed in). The vanilla start page has the stupid fade thing - sure, nice an all, but on the numerous slow computers I use/work on its a slowdown I don't need. Also, to have to install anything on every PC is not an option, practically speaking. I use google vanilla when I can because its fast AND has a gmail link, but FF start page is faster. It would be nice to have some consistency and predictability in the menu. Until I found this forum I didn't even realise why Firefox startpage doesn't have a gmail link, I just found it annoying and thought badly of Firefox as a result.<br />Lolz@ whoever suggested switching to Bing, they just really struggle with search, don't they. I've had to use it from the Help system in Office and it often fails to find its own doco, so Google steps in to help every time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-52596512330393368942010-09-21T10:14:40.088-07:002010-09-21T10:14:40.088-07:00I hate the fade.I hate the fade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-46442761650415327142010-09-14T19:29:04.238-07:002010-09-14T19:29:04.238-07:00Thanks all for google.com/firefox trick.

However, the software we make is intended for use by electronic engineers, i.e., professional tools. <br /><br />I believe that the eye candy is there to attract the incompetent, non-savvy computer user. Things like OS X's dock and Vista/Win 7 aero effect are just toys: you get a bit of excitement the first time you play with it, but soon you will learn to ignore it. I believe though that incompetent users outnumber experienced users, and therefore large software corporations naturally favor however generates more revenue.<br /><br />However, incompetent computer users are generally happy with whatever you give them as long as it works. The problem is that Apple started adding eye candy and the Microsoft and Google and everybody else had to jump on the bandwagon...<br /><br />It is very naive of Google to believe that their user base will grow thanks to its visual effects. The main reason why millions use Google is that it is an effective search engine with a simple interface. Mind you, simplicity is what made it so popular in the first place.<br /><br />So I do hope that Google go back to their old ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-21300992161329869512010-08-12T05:50:30.612-07:002010-08-12T05:50:30.612-07:00It's funny that you say Google's fade-in i...It's funny that you say Google's fade-in is bloatware, when the goal was to make the homepage simpler and less cluttered.Alex Chituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618542750965508582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-66375924872214075232010-08-12T05:44:47.591-07:002010-08-12T05:44:47.591-07:00Software companies keep adding unsolicited crap to...Software companies keep adding unsolicited crap to their software. The fade-in effect is a form of bloatware.<br /><br />Computers are so much more powerful than they used to be, yet some things are actually slower because software is bloated on purpose. I don't need a faster computer, my computer from 2003 is and should be fine, but if software companies keep adding crap that a) only improves the look of the software, b) makes my computer work harder and c) does not improve usability or makes it worse, then of course I will need a faster processor and more memory. The old computer becomes scrap: more waste going to landfill. Instead of encouraging us to use our perfectly suitable computers, software companies force us to pollute. Makes my blood boil.<br /><br />So I wipe my ass on Google's fade-in effect.

So far, I have not yet detected the benefits of this 'great' feature, allthough I am an IT-specialist with over 25 years of experience.<br /><br />In the before-the-effect-days, I opened my browser and saw google's homepage. I immediately could point my mouse to the gmail-link, or to the image search-link.<br /><br />In the after-days, I still open my browser with google as the homepage. But now, I have to move the mouse first before I can see the links to gmail, maps, or image search. Waste of time and effort that is.<br /><br />So, what award-winning, smart professor can explain to me where the benefit of all that is? Please don't come up with the distraction-argument. On the contrary, having things that suddenly pop-up on the screen, now that's what I call a time waisting distraction.<br /><br />Please, Mr. Google, get rid of it. Stay a professional company, do what you think you have to do, and especially, don't let the others influence you. You know whom I'm talking about.<br /><br />All the bestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-72076551523306829552010-07-29T10:37:44.067-07:002010-07-29T10:37:44.067-07:00Alex, could you _please_ add functionality or make...Alex, could you _please_ add functionality or make another extension that stops custom backgrounds from fading in?.
