Fiona is like you and me: she expects her computer to support her. Lets suppose that Fiona needs a nice picture of a fish, but where should she enter “fish” for searching???
- Additionally, Fiona is unsure about the “Go”- or “Search”-button.
- If she wants to search the page, she needs to go the menu “Edit” and click “Find in this page…”, or rather “Find again”? (Try to find it in IE 7!)
Folks, we can do better!

Today, I definitely got fed up with this page:
Why is it annoying?
- I always read feeds in Google Reader, hence I never need to make a choice between the Google Homepage and the Reader.
- Quite often, I only want to see the xml. This is not possible on this page.
So here’s the fix:
- Go to the configuration in Firefox: Type about:config in your url field
- Search for browser.contentHandlers.types.2.uri
- Set it to http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/%s
- Restart Firefox
- And everything is again as it used to be…
