Firefox
Firefox is a free and open source browser, which is available for the Windows, Linux, and Mac platform and relies on the support of the web community to build new features for vthe browser and test them. The ideology behind the browser, according to its developers, is to deliver the "Best possible browsing experience to the widest possible set of people." The latest version of Firefox is version three, which is currently in beta. The Firefox browser allows tabbed browsing, an in-line spell checker, bookmarking and a download manager among other features.
Tips And Tricks
Though Firefox is pretty efficient on its own, there are various tweaks you can carry out to improve the layout and the speed of the browser.
Here are some tips and tricks to help you realiose that dream :
- To increase more screen space for the web page, make all your icons small. To do so, right click anywhere on the toolbar and select customise. Now, right at the end of the window, put a tick mark next to use small icons.
- It is possible to search with different search engines right from your address bar window. All you have to do is go to your favourite search engine, right click on the search field and select " Add a keyword for this page." So, if your search engine ia Google, you may add 'g' as my keyword. Now, whan you want to search using Google, all you have to do is enter ''g [space] [search query]'' (without the quotes) in the address bar. If you want to customise Firefox further than you have to use the about:config tool. To access this, enter "about:config" in the address bar and than press Enter. This is a place where all the layout and page rendering settings - not normally accessible from the menus are stored. You can change many of the settings to improve the way Firefox works.
Attention : Using this tool without knowing what you are doing could cause Firefox to stop working. It is therefore important to follow these steps carefully.
