Hi Ron.
I was referring only to bookmarked webpages within the firefox browser. The other ABer appears to save her bookmarks to the desktop, which must surely mean she has to minimise her browser to access them.
It is entirely possible I misunderstood her altogether and got the wrong end of the stick.
My desktop has a few icons to open programs, nothing more.
I don't use the google toolbar, although I do have a small Google search box at the top of the page.
Happen to answer any further queries if I haven't fully addressed your query, Ron
