Dear Sir
I have a glitch with Firefox.. The option "Australian pages only" was 
available with the original free download.  It vanished a while back. I 
reported it and asked what to do.  Yes, I did clear all temp files and 
cookies.  The option came back, but only for two days. I have not had 
the option for several weeks.. My version is 1.0.4.  I would like this 
option back, because Firefox is a great program apart from this.  I 
would be happy to donate, once this is fixed permanently, or do I need 
to buy the updated program.
Regards
Nick Smith (for [e-mail])

2.
3.

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Options shouls appear with buttons to the left of the 2 options

Reported some weeks ago and got back the suggestion that I should deleat cookies
and temp internet files, which I do every session anyway.

"Search the Web" is in the tools menu, and it now puts the cursor in the search
box on the right hand side. Same as ctrl-K.

But what is "Australian Pages Only" ? Was that an extension ? Or was it a search
engine, like the "Google Australia" that you can download from
<http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/google.html> ?

Where did you originally see this "Australian pages only" option?

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
