0:00 | Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Themes in Mozilla Firefox. |
0:05 | In this tutorial, we will learn about: Themes, Personas, Ad blocking in Mozilla Firefox. |

0:20 | One of the customisation is Themes. |
0:23 | A theme Changes how Firefox looks. |

0:32 | In this tutorial, we are using Firefox version 7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 |
0:40 | Let us open a Firefox browser. |
0:43 | Let us first learn how to change the Theme of Mozilla Firefox. |
0:48 | First, let’s enable the Load images automatically option, so that we can view the images displayed in the browser. |
0:58 | From the Menu bar, click on Edit and then Preferences. |

1:14 | Now, click on the URL bar and type
“addons dot mozilla dot org slash firefox slash themes” |
1:25 | Press Enter. |
1:27 | This takes us to the Themes page for Mozilla Firefox Add-ons. |
1:32 | We see a large number of themes here as thumbnails. |

1:41 | Here you can preview the theme, |
1:43 | see the categories of themes available and |
1:46 | see the ratings given by other users who have used the theme. |
1:52 | Let us hover our mouse pointer over some themes.<Pause> |
1:57 | Now, click on the theme Shine Bright Skin. |
2:01 | This is one of many themes available on this page. |
2:05 | The Shine Bright Skin theme page appears. |
2:09 | Click on the Continue to Download button. |
2:12 | This takes you to a page which gives additional details about the the theme. |
2:17 | Click on the Add to Firefox button to install the theme. |
2:22 | The Add-on downloading progress bar appears. |

2:32 | Click Install Now. |
2:34 | A message that the theme will be installed once you restart Firefox is displayed. |
2:40 | Click Restart Now. |
2:43 | Mozilla Firefox shuts down. |
2:46 | When it restarts, the new themes is applied. |
2:51 | Let’s go back to our Themes page. |
2:54 | Now let us choose another theme. |
2:57 | This theme displays Add to Firefox button. |
3:01 | This will download the chosen theme. |
3:05 | Once the download is complete, a warning message window appears. |
3:10 | Click on the Install Now button. |
3:13 | You will be prompted to restart the Firefox browser. |
3:16 | Click on Restart now button. |
3:19 | Mozilla Firefox shuts down. |
3:22 | When it restarts, the new themes are applied. |
3:27 | So you see, Themes help to improve the look and feel of the browser. |
3:31 | It customizes the Firefox browser to your unique taste. |
3:36 | If, for some reason, you wish to go back to the default theme, |
3:40 | then, just click on Tools and Add-ons. |
3:44 | On the left panel, click on the Appearance tab. |
3:48 | Here all the themes which have been downloaded are visible. |
3:53 | See the Default Theme here. |
3:56 | Click on the Enable button. |
3:59 | Click on the Restart now button. |
4:02 | Mozilla Firefox will shut down and restart. |
4:06 | When it restarts, the default theme is once again visible. |
4:12 | Let’s close the Add-ons tab. |
4:16 | # Personas are free, easy-to-install "skins" for Firefox. |
4:22 | # Personas Plus extends this built-in functionality |
4:26 | # to give greater control |
4:28 | # easier access to new, popular, and even your own favorite Personas. |
4:34 | Click on the URL bar and type
“addons dot mozilla dot org slash firefox slash personas” |
4:44 | Press Enter. |
4:47 | This takes us to the Personas page for Mozilla Firefox Add-ons. |
4:52 | We see a large number of personas here. |
4:56 | Click on any Persona of your choice. |
5:01 | This will take you to a page which gives details of the chosen Persona. |
5:06 | Click on the Add to Firefox button. |
5:09 | A Notification bar will appear at the top to alert you that a new theme is installed. |
5:16 | Click on the small “x” mark on the right of the Notification bar. |
5:21 | Firefox installs this Persona automatically. |
5:28 | * Often ads interfere with our internet experience. |
5:32 | But there are specialized software that help to block ads. |
5:36 | One such add-on is Adblock. |
5:39 | Click on Tools and then on Add-ons. |
5:43 | In the search tab, at the top-right corner, search for Adblock.
Press Enter. |
5:51 | A list of Ad blocking software is displayed. |
5:55 | Click on the Install button for Adblock Plus. |
5:59 | Adblock starts downloading |
6:02 | That's it! Ad blocker is now installed. |
6:06 | A notification message will be displayed which says, “Adblock will be installed after you restart Firefox”. |
6:14 | Click on the Restart now link. |
6:17 | Mozilla Firefox will shut down and restart. |
6:21 | When it restarts, the ad blocker will take effect. |
6:25 | However, using ad blockers have some negative consequences. |
6:30 | * Some sites do not allow you to enter them when ad blocker is on. |
6:35 | * This is because, many free sites earn their income from ads. |
6:41 | * Adblocker may prevent some sites from being displayed on your browser. |
6:46 | * This factor has to be considered carefully when blocking ads. |
6:51 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
