There are some fun Irish ones as well. Seems especially appropriate this month!

Thanx fer the links.

OK. I did the add-on thing and tried a few different appearances. Primarily with the thought in mind of finding some manner of personally mitigating my disillusionment with the site background change. I found my computer running slower and rather in an unstable condition. The tartans are pretty. However, in their appearance, the top bar where I have Bookmarks located was rendered less easy to read. I don't mind that since I know the exact location of each marker. The actual problem for me was in the loading of everything coming in on line. My computer bogged down. I removed the skins and uninstalled the Firefox add-ons and my computer returned to fast again. Bummer for ME. I really liked the appearance. But the slowdown was not good. I'll try again later when I can give more time to the look and setup.

FF can get overly bloated when you're running a LOT of add-ons or themes, but shouldn't with just the Persona. Could be from running it on a MAC? Or, may you need to update some hardware? What version of FF are you running?

I mentioned your comment to our IT guys and they both stopped what they were doing (I was impressed as they usually can't tear their eyes off whatever game is hot that day), and just looked at me.... You know, that LOOK....usually comes right before they say....User Error. Even when it's not.

I have a Mac at work. That's how it runs pretty much all the time. I wish I could talk the bosses into getting real computers.

It's a great browser, much friendlier and smoother than IE. I run it with AdBlock+ and ColorfulTabs. Watch out for Chrome though, the IT guys think it'll be the next best browser.

Okay, so I'm going to chock this one up to "pregnancy brain" because I must look silly asking this, but where do you search for different ones? I can only find the galleries but can't find where to type in what I'm specifically interested in.

Go to the box on the top right. It's right beside the tab that says Create Your Own, and under the words 'Sign In'.

It's ok Squeaky. I once cried my eyes out on the phone talking to the garage that was replacing the alternator in my Fox. I mean, CRIED! I was 8 months along. Frickn hormones.
