If you’ve had to use Internet Explorer 8, you’ll have noticed a couple of things. It’s getting much easier to use due to its growing number of similarities to Firefox, and it uses a clever feature called the “Accelerator” to try and give it a leg up over its chief competitor.

如果必须使用Internet Explorer 8，您会注意到两件事。 由于它与Firefox的相似性越来越高，它的使用变得越来越容易，并且它使用称为“加速器”的巧妙功能来尝试使其比其主要竞争对手更强大。

SmarterFox adds the same functionality as the IE Accelerator to everyone’s favourite browser.

SmarterFox在每个人都喜欢的浏览器中添加了与IE加速器相同的功能。

Install the extension by clicking Add to Firefox.

通过单击添加到Firefox安装扩展。

Then simply follow the prompts.

然后只需按照提示进行操作即可。

Once this is complete you’ll need to restart your browser. Then you’ll want to get some text on screen and highlight it to see the difference.

完成此操作后，您将需要重新启动浏览器。 然后，您将需要在屏幕上显示一些文本并将其突出显示以查看区别。

Note the extra buttons. You get a few options for search engines, but unfortunately it’s not open ended. Even so, the ability to search phrases so easily is incredibly useful, as the program automatically opens each phrase in a new tab. To add or remove buttons, go to Tools, SmarterFox.

请注意额外的按钮。 您可以为搜索引擎提供一些选择，但不幸的是它不是开放式的。 即便如此，如此容易地搜索短语的功能还是非常有用的，因为该程序会自动在新选项卡中打开每个短语。 要添加或删除按钮，请转到“工具”，“ SmarterFox”。

Click the Popup bubble tab, and add or remove search engines by checking/unchecking the boxes.

单击弹出气泡选项卡，然后通过选中/取消选中框来添加或删除搜索引擎。

You’ll also have likely noticed the qLauncher tab. Change your qLauncher shortcut to something usable.

您可能还会注意到qLauncher选项卡。 将您的qLauncher快捷方式更改为可用的内容。

Now click OK and then enter in your shortcut. Immediately, you are taken to this menu, where you can search.

现在，单击确定，然后输入您的快捷方式。 随即，您将进入此菜单，可以在这里进行搜索。

Here you can either type your search term into Google, in which case you’ll be presented with a list of options, or simply choose a website to navigate to. It’s a little like a quick shortcut. These also open in new tabs.

在这里，您可以在Google中输入搜索字词(在这种情况下，您会看到一系列选项)，也可以选择要浏览的网站。 这有点像快捷键。 这些也会在新标签页中打开。

One thing that is lacking from SmarterFox is the ability to search maps from the Popup Bubble. Where IE allows the user to search an address and even view an immediate thumbnail from LiveSearch Maps, SmarterFox lacks this entirely. Hopefully in time to come the ability to search Google Maps in the same way will become available. Until then, however, the extra features of SmarterFox will have to suffice for the avid Firefox user.

SmarterFox缺少的一件事是能够从Popup Bubble中搜索地图。 在IE允许用户搜索地址甚至从LiveSearch Maps查看即时缩略图的地方，SmarterFox完全没有此功能。 希望能够及时以相同的方式提供搜索Google地图的功能。 但是，在那之前，SmarterFox的其他功能必须足以满足狂热的Firefox用户的需要。
