There is a setting, left center or right. I was surprised by that since I hear so many complaints about the center thing. I am going to try the center spot for a while, because it intuitively seems more efficient, less mouse movement. Although when I do move to the left corner it feels further away, but you can do it blind, no precision is needed to find the corner. Like you said, NBD, but worth messing with.
Seems to be gone today, must have needed a reboot or something. Instant again.
I removed the widgets and un-installed the bing app now everything opens in Firefox and everything looks pretty standard and boring now.
I haven’t seen the recommended browser settings thing.
