00:00 | Welcome to the tutorial of Mozilla Firefox. |
00:04 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to: set General preferences, set Privacy preferences. |
00:11 | In this tutorial, we are using Firefox version 7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04. |
00:18 | Preferences within Mozilla Firefox allows us to perform repetitive tasks with ease. |
00:24 | For Windows users, this feature is called Options. |
00:29 | Say for example, we want to set our email login page as our home page. |
00:33 | So, we will click on Edit and Preferences. |
00:37 | Windows users should click on Tools and Options. |
00:42 | The Preferences or Options dialog box opens. At the top of the dialog box, there are a number of tabs. |
00:50 | Each one has a different function. |
00:53 | The General panel contains preferences related to the most commonly used settings such as : setting Firefox home page, setting file download location. |
01:04 | Let us learn how to set 'Gmail' as our default home page. |
01:08 | Under Start up, in the When Firefox starts drop-down menu, select ‘Show my home page’. |
01:16 | By default, the Home page field is set to ‘Mozilla Firefox Start Page’. |
01:22 | Click on the Home Page field and type ‘www.gmail.com’. |
01:29 | Click on the Close button to close the dialog box. |
01:33 | Our settings will be saved automatically. |
01:36 | Now, close this Firefox window. |
01:40 | And open a new Firefox window. |
01:42 | You will notice that the 'Gmail login page' is the homepage. |
01:46 | Next, let us now learn how Mozilla Firefox handles downloads. |
01:51 | Click on Edit and Preferences. |
01:54 | As before, Windows users, please click on Tools > Options. |
01:58 | Click on the ‘General’ tab. |
02:02 | In the ‘Downloads’ option, put a check on the check box ‘Show the Downloads window when downloading a file’. |
02:09 | Now check the radio-button that says ‘Save files to’. |
02:12 | Click the Browse button and change the default folder to Desktop. Click on the Open button. |
02:18 | Click on the Close button to close the dialog box. |
02:24 | As before, our settings will be saved automatically. |
02:28 | In the browser’s Search bar, type ‘Flowers’ and click the magnifying lens to the right. |
02:34 | Right-click on the first search result that appears. |
02:38 | And click on ‘Save Link As’. |
02:40 | You notice that by default the link would be downloaded to Desktop. |
02:46 | Click Save and the file will be saved on the Desktop. |
02:51 | The Tabs panel contains preferences related to the tabbed browsing feature. |
02:56 | The Content panel contains preferences related to how websites are displayed. |
03:02 | The Applications panel lets you decide how Mozilla Firefox should handle different types of files. |
03:11 | It could be a PDF document or an audio file . |
03:13 | As an assignment, explore these tabs and the options therein. |
03:19 | The Privacy panel contains preferences related to your web-privacy. |
03:25 | Under Tracking, let's put a check on ‘Tell web sites I do not want to be tracked’. |
03:30 | Selecting this option will stop websites from storing information about your browsing behavior. |
03:37 | Under History, there are many options. |
03:41 | In the ‘Firefox will’ field, choose ‘Never remember history’. |
03:45 | Enabling this option means that the history of your browsing will not be retained in your computer. |
03:53 | If we click on ‘Clear all current history’ then all the browsing history stored on your computer will be cleared. |
04:01 | Coming down to the Location Bar- |
04:04 | In the ‘When using the location bar, suggest:’ field, we will click on the drop down-menu and select 'Nothing'. |
04:11 | On doing so, whenever you enter a new URL in the address bar, you will not be prompted with suggestions. |
04:19 | Click Close to close the dialog box. |
04:23 | your privacy is now completely protected. |
04:26 | The Security panel contains preferences related to keeping your web browsing safe. |
04:32 | The Sync panel lets you set up or manage a “Firefox Sync” account. |
04:36 | Firefox Sync lets us use our history, bookmarks and passwords across different devices. |
04:45 | The Advanced panel contains some important Firefox settings. |
04:49 | It has Browsing and System Default settings to control the behavior of Firefox. |
04:57 | We can also configure the way Firefox connects to the Internet using the Network option. |
05:03 | Within the Network tab, under Connections, click on the Settings button. |
05:09 | This opens up the Connection Settings dialog box. |
05:11 | Here, you can configure the Proxies. |
05:15 | Proxies are used to improve performance and provide better security. |
05:21 | By default, the ‘Use system proxy settings’ radio-button is selected. |
05:26 | This option uses the settings configured for your operating system. |
05:31 | To enter the proxy settings manually, click on Manual proxy configuration radio-button. |
05:38 | You can now enter the proxy settings in these fields. |
05:42 | Click on the Close button to close the Connection Settings dialog box. |
05:49 | Again click on the Close button to close the Preferences or Options dialog box. |
05:55 | Your settings will be saved automatically. |
