00:00 | Welcome to this spoken tutorial on Themes in Mozilla Firefox. |
00:05 | In this tutorial, we will learn about: Themes, Personas, Ad blocking in Mozilla Firefox. |
00:13 | Mozilla Firefox offers customization to suit the tastes or preferences of the user. |
00:20 | One of the customization is Themes. |
00:23 | A theme: * changes how Firefox looks. |
00:27 | * Changes the background colors, the look of the buttons and the layout. |
00:32 | In this tutorial, we are using Firefox version 7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04. |
00:40 | Let us open a Firefox browser. |
00:43 | Let us first learn how to change the Theme of Mozilla Firefox. |
00:48 | First, let’s enable the 'Load images automatically' option so that we can view the images displayed in the browser. |
00:58 | From the Menu bar, click on Edit and then Preferences. |
01:03 | In the Preferences dialog box, choose the Content tab. |
01:08 | Check the Load images automatically box. |
01:12 | Click Close. |
01:14 | Now, click on the URL bar and type: addons dot mozilla dot org slash firefox slash themes |
01:25 | press Enter. |
01:27 | This takes us to the Themes page for Mozilla Firefox Add-ons. |
01:32 | We see a large number of themes here as thumbnails. |
01:37 | The thumbnails show you how the themes would appear. |
01:41 | Here you can preview the theme, |
01:43 | see the categories of themes available and |
01:46 | see the ratings given by other users who have used the theme. |
01:52 | Let us hover our mouse pointer over some themes. <Pause> |
01:57 | Now, click on the theme Shine Bright Skin. |
02:01 | This is one of many themes available on this page. |
02:05 | The Shine Bright Skin theme page appears. |
02:09 | Click on the Continue to Download button. |
02:12 | This takes you to a page which gives additional details about the theme. |
02:17 | Click on the Add to Firefox button to install the theme. |
02:22 | The Add-on downloading progress bar appears. |
02:27 | Next, a Software Installation confirmation message appears. |
02:32 | Click Install Now. |
02:34 | A message that the 'theme will be installed once you restart Firefox' is displayed. |
02:40 | Click Restart Now. |
02:43 | Mozilla Firefox shuts down. |
02:46 | When it restarts, the new theme is applied. |
02:51 | Let’s go back to our Themes page. |
02:54 | Now, let us choose another theme. |
02:57 | This theme displays Add to Firefox button. |
03:01 | This will download the chosen theme. |
03:05 | Once the download is complete, a warning message window appears. |
03:10 | Click on the Install Now button. |
03:13 | You will be prompted to restart the Firefox browser. |
03:16 | Click on Restart Now button. |
03:19 | Mozilla Firefox shuts down. |
03:22 | When it restarts, the new themes are applied. |
03:27 | So you see, Themes help to improve the look and feel of the browser. |
03:31 | It customizes the Firefox browser to your unique taste. |
03:36 | If, for some reason, you wish to go back to the default theme |
03:40 | then just click on Tools and Add-ons. |
03:44 | On the left panel, click on the Appearance tab. |
03:48 | Here, all the themes which have been downloaded are visible. |
03:53 | See the Default Theme here. |
03:56 | Click on the Enable button. |
03:59 | Click on the Restart Now button. |
04:02 | Mozilla Firefox will shut down and restart. |
04:06 | When it restarts, the Default theme is once again visible. |
04:12 | Let’s close the Add-ons tab. |
04:16 | Personas are free, easy-to-install skins for Firefox. |
04:22 | Personas Plus extends this built-in functionality: |
04:26 | * to give greater control |
04:28 | * easier access to new, popular and even your own favorite Personas. |
04:34 | Click on the URL bar and type:
addons dot mozilla dot org slash firefox slash personas |
04:44 | press Enter. |
04:47 | This takes us to the Personas page for Mozilla Firefox Add-ons. |
04:52 | We see a large number of 'Personas' here. |
04:56 | Click on any Persona of your choice. |
05:01 | This will take you to a page which gives details of the chosen Persona. |
05:06 | Click on the Add to Firefox button. |
05:09 | A Notification bar will appear at the top to alert you that a new theme is installed. |
05:16 | Click on the small “x” mark on the right of the Notification bar. |
05:21 | Firefox installs this Persona automatically. |
05:28 | Often 'ads' interfere with our internet experience. |
05:32 | But there are specialized software that help to block ads. |
05:36 | One such add-on is Adblock. |
05:39 | Click on Tools and then on Add-ons. |
05:43 | In the search tab, at the top-right corner, search for Adblock.
Press Enter. |
05:51 | A list of 'Ad' blocking software is displayed. |
05:55 | Click on the Install button for Adblock Plus. |
05:59 | 'Adblock' starts downloading. |
06:02 | That's it! Ad blocker is now installed. |
06:06 | A notification message will be displayed which says- “Adblock will be installed after you restart Firefox”. |
06:14 | Click on the Restart Now link. |
06:17 | Mozilla Firefox will shut down and restart. |
06:21 | When it restarts, the ad blocker will take effect. |
06:25 | However, using ad blockers have some negative consequences. |
06:30 | Some sites do not allow you to enter them when ad blocker is on. |
06:35 | This is because many free sites earn their income from 'ads'. |
06:41 | Adblocker may prevent some sites from being displayed on your browser. |
06:46 | This factor has to be considered carefully when blocking ads. |
06:51 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
06:54 | In this tutorial, we learnt about: Themes, Personas and Ad blocking. |
07:00 | Try this assignment. |
07:03 | Install the theme 'NASA night launch'. |
07:06 | Then switch back to the default theme. |
07:10 | Block all pop-ups except those from yahoo.com |
