How to configure Mozilla's "Navigator"

This will explain you how to configure Mozilla's "Navigator" options, how this browser behaves, internet search and the handling of different file types..The following steps will help you to configure Mozilla’s Navigator. >>Click on "Edit" in the menu bar and then on "Preferences" to open the preferences menu. >This is what you will see when you click on the category heading "Navigator". You can select from the following options: >>Display on This option lets you select, which page Mozilla displays when you- First start Mozilla ("Navigator Startup")- Open a new browser window ("New Window")- Open a new browser tab ("New Tab")Mozilla allows you to select a different behavior for each of those three option (available from the dropdown menu), giving you a great degree of flexibility.You can chose between:- Blank page: This means that Mozilla will display no page at all. The advantage is, that it will take less time for Mozilla to start (or to open a new window/Tab).- Home page: This option will make Mozilla load the page (or file) you specified in the Home Page field. Please see below for more information.- Last page visited: When this option is selected, Mozilla will open the last page you viewed. When you selected this for "Navigator Startup", it means that the last site you visited on your previous session will be opened. When you select this for "New Window" or "New Tab", Mozilla will effectively duplicate the current window (like IE does).This may or may not be a good thing, depending on how many other people use your computer (and on the last page you visited ;-) Home Page This option lets you select the page or file Mozilla opens if you click on the "Home" button. It will also affect the option "When Navigator starts up, display Home page" since this is where you specify your home page.You can specify:- a manually entered a URL to a website, to an HTML document on your PC or on a local network.- that Mozilla uses the page that is displayed in the active window (i.e. the one you can see at the moment you select this option)by clicking on "Use current page"- that Mozilla uses the current group of open tabs by clicking on the "Use current group or chose a file by clicking on "Choose File"Clicking on "Restore default" will do just that, i.e. restore this setting to what it was when you fist started Mozilla. Select the buttons you want to see in the toolbarsTake a look at the top part of Mozilla. Notice all the buttons that are displayed? This option lets you select which buttons will or will not be displayed. Note: "Home" is the button that will take you to the Home page you specified. Also note that enabling/disabling toolbar buttons will not affect the entries in the menu bar.

How to Configure Mozilla

This How-To will explain how to configure Mozilla's appearance options. This ranges from how font will be displayed, which themes and even which language Mozilla uses. The How-To consists of 6 easy steps. Appearance 1. Click on "Edit" and then on "Preferences" to open the preferences menu. 2. You will see a Window, when you click on the category heading "appearance". You can select the following: When Mozilla starts up, open:This lets you select which Mozilla component opens when you start Mozilla. The default setting is Navigator (the browser component). You can also chose Composer (an HTML editor) or Mozilla mail. Show toolbars as:This option allows you to chose between having your toolbars use- Pictures and text- Pictures only- Text onlyNote that the "pictures and text" may not be available for all themes. If you e.g. chose "Text only" Mozilla will not display buttons for "Back", "Forward" and similar funktions but text labels only. Show Tooltips:Whne enabled, Mozilla will show tooltips when you move your mouse over buttons or links, explaining what they do. Show Web Site Icons:When enabled, a site icon (aka favicon) will be shown next to a site's URL in the address bar. Please note that while most major sites do have a favicon, many smaller sites do not. Resize large images to fit in the browser window:When enabled, this option will automatically resize (large) images to fit in your browser window without the need to scroll. It is in my opinion a very useful feature. 3. The next screen lets you optimize the font settings. Unless you have special requirements (e.g. larger font size for the visually impaired), I would recommend leaving the defaults.Leave the box next to "Allow documents to use other fonts" checked - this will allow Mozilla to diplay custom font settings many sites use (like e.g. this one).The option "display resolution" lets you customize Mozilla's resolution to better match your display. Click on this field and select "Other...". A popup window will appear. Use a ruler or tape measure to measure the length of the line that appears and enter its length as it appears on your display (in centimeters or inches) - this will let Mozilla know, how text is actually displayed on your screen and allow it to adjust the text's size accordingly. In my case (average 17 in. screen), the resolution was changed from 96 dpi to 85 dpi. 4. The next screen lets you optimize the color settings. As in the previous screen, I would recommend leaving the defaults as they are. Always use the colors and background specified by the page:When enabled, Mozilla will override your local settings (as specified in this menu) if a web page specifies different colors (like this page does). Use my chosen colors...:When enabled, Mozilla will ignore the web page's color settings, using you local settings instead.Please note that you can only chose between either of the two options. 5. This next screen lets you chose the theme Mozilla uses. An easier way to do this is to click on "View" - "Apply Theme" in Mozilla's menu bar.The main advantage of selecting themes in this menu is the preview function. Select a theme and you will be able to see what Mozilla will look like using this theme.You can get new themes by clicking on "Get New Themes". Doing so will open a new browser window and take you to Mozilla's themes page which contains links to websites with Mozilla themes.If you wish to uninstall a theme, simply select the theme you wish to remove and click on the uninstall button.Note: This option is not available for themes that came preinstalled with Mozilla! 6. In the final appearance-related step, you can localize Mozilla. The default language and content pack is English (US), but many more are available (e.g. German, French...).Installing and selecting a new language pack will change the language used for Mozilla's menues and buttons.Installing and selecting a new content pack will change things like sidebars and bookmarks.Note: You will not lose your personal bookmarks when installing a new content pack.
