Well, I didn’t actually think that, I looked at the Google search box in the top right corner of Firefox and typed in the start of “chimera” to see if the suggestions came up with the right spellings. They came up with more than one that I thought could be correct, so I actually performed the search. Having established the correct spelling, I went to click on the tab containing my half typed entry. Only, oh dear, Firefox has displayed the results in the tab I currently had open. Arse. Not quite sure why it would have been designed like that. After all, in Firefox 2 we have a useful “Close Tab” button right there on each tab, so surely it is a cheap job for the user to do to close a search tab once they have finished it. After all, aren’t you looking for something that might well be relevant to another tab?

Anyway, what I was saying was that I’d changed the theme to a third party one, Iceburgg by Devlounge as it has a nice wintery feel and we’d put the Christmas tree up. I’ve been tinkering about with various things this evening while Kate is away including setting myself up a user account on her PC. We only have one set up in our house so far, which is her box with my monitor and speakers (hence the chimera reference I was originally going to make). Now that I’m retyping this is does seem a dull thing to say, so nevermind…
