I just installed Firefox 4.0.on my xp sp3 laptop. My desktop, quick launch and startmenu Firefox icons are all on a white background. On the change page it says that the Firefox logo was updated, but I could not find a description of the update. How can I change the Firefox logo to a transparent background? When I search the user area how do I make the search so that both words are in the results?

Yeah the new logo shows a white box on older 16 bit color displays, there is a bug that is being worked on, for now try switching to 32 bit colors, if possible.

The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.

You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

I was referring to search for the Firefox support boards. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop/get-started when given the first result is "install Firefox on Linux". It contains the word firefox, but I do not see a reference to logo. How do I tell the Firefox board search that I only want articles with all words?
