I Like IE7…but where’s the Toolbar

I used Firefox for about a year or so while IE6 was still on the market. I didn’t really like the initial beta of IE7, so I stayed with Firefox through that time as well. Now that the full-blown version of IE7 is available, I’ve got to say I like the layout and structure of IE7’s user-interface over Firefox. The only significant gap that I really miss is all the extensions that are available and wonderfully embedded within Firefox.

One of the big annoyances though to IE7 is that the Toolbar menu is buried and even when you do find out how to get it to display on the screen it doesn’t show-up where you’d expect it to be.

And after the update, you get….
