Well, I didn't mean cluttered, I meant "big" since he was complaining about the size of the toolbar on that shot. In opera, you can easily remove any button/item/anything off practically the entire interface. I just leave the buttons there I like and delete the rest (simple as right-clicking on them). Opera, by default, is EXTREMELY cluttered. They make it really easy to customize though.

I don't like firefox because it's slow. And it won't open maximized no matter what I do. Drives me nuts. Always opens a window about 1/4 the size of my desktop.

If you're using Windows XP, head into the control panel and open the "Regional and Language Options" applet. Go to the "Languages" tab and click the "Details" button. Here, add a second keyboard layout by clicking the "Add" button, and after click "Apply." Now you can you can go into the Language Bar preferences and check off "Show the Language Bar on the Desktop," if it isn't already there.

Like Cow said. The icon will appear automatically if you have two languages installed. Then you can set alt+shift to switch between the two.

Oh, and Brian: That demonstrates my point. You have to PAY for the browser... why bother when you have another browser AS GOOD, if not BETTER than that, for free?

And to whoever asked to clutter firefox as much as possible:

You can't do that, since you can add new toolbars and stuff till your blue in the face. But it doesn't mean it defaults to that.

Why? Why do you want it to open Maximized? I've never understood this. You can't see anything behind that window unless you go through the taskbar then. I'm also completely ignorant of your setup so you probably have a logical reason. I just can't stand windows that want the whole screen. They annoy the hell out of me. On mine, Firebird takes up 3/4ths of the screen from the top left. In the top right is Trillian and the IRC console below it. Along the bottom are my assorted IRC Channels, chats, etc. Bottom right is iTunes.

I can't stand it any other way.

And you're not willing to admit that what constitutes "better" is purely opinion? Frankly, Opera is faster, the interface is faster, and it does more of what I want how I want, so Opera is better. And I'm a software developer. I don't mind paying for GOOD software?

Well it's obviously preference. I (obviously, from the screenshot) don't use Windows. I have this nice operating system called Linux, and the window manager I use, called IceWM, has this neat feature called "Multiple Desktops." This basically means that I can have up to 9 different desktops all with their own resolutions, backgrounds, settings, etc. I switch between them using alt-f1 - alt-f4 (I only use 4, not 9). I always open my browser maximized on desktop 2, so whenever I want to see my browser, I press alt-f2 and there it is. I do all my programming on desktop 1, and thus have multiple text-editor and console windows open there. #3 is used for xchat and log monitoring console windows, and #4 is used for instant messaging windows. That's all I run regularly, so the rest of my not-so-common apps get open on whatever desktop is least cluttered or whatever one I happen to be on.

Anyway, I still think it should remember it's window position and size. It simply doesn't work. Mozilla works fine, so it's a firefox thing > [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif] I'm not the only one having this problem, either, there are tons of posts about it on mozillazine forums. Also, although you can specify size and position at the command-line (and thus through shortcuts) - it completely ignores them.

As I said, I was ignorant of your setup. I hadn't bothered to check the screenshot.

Still, windows that do that annoy me.
