Thank's for the info! I have one problem since going to Mozilla, I can't bookmark a specific Avsim forum, It always comes up as Avsim main page.

Try opening up the link to that forum in a new tab or window (that way the nav bar is not present at the top) and try bookmarking that way.Or you can try right clicking on the link to the forum and chosing 'bookmark' or some similar wording.
