00:00 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Setting Pop-up and Image options in Mozilla Firefox. |
00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn: * How to set Pop up and image preferences. |
00:13 | * Customize Toolbar. |
00:15 | Pop-up windows, or pop-ups, are windows that appear automatically without your permission. |
00:21 | They vary in size but usually don't cover the whole screen. |
00:27 | Some pop-ups open on top of the current Firefox window, while others appear underneath Firefox (pop-unders). |
00:37 | Pop-ups can be quite irritating and that’s the main reason you want to disable them. |
00:42 | In this tutorial, we are using Firefox version 7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 |
00:50 | Let us open a Firefox browser. |
00:53 | In the URL bar, let us type ‘w w w dot pop up test dot com’ |
01:01 | Press the enter key. |
01:03 | This site shows you what a pop up is. |
01:07 | Click on the link that says ‘multi-popup test’ |
01:12 | You will see 6 pop ups. |
01:20 | Click on Back. |
01:22 | 2 more pop-ups appear. See how irritating they are? |
01:28 | Firefox allows you to control both pop-ups and pop-unders. This is done by clicking on Edit and then Preferences. |
01:37 | Windows users, please click on Tools and then on Options. |
01:43 | In the Preferences window, click on the Content tab. |
01:48 | The Block pop-up windows option is already turned on, by default. |
01:53 | If not, then you need to check it. |
01:56 | So you don't have to worry about enabling it to prevent pop-ups from appearing in Firefox. |
02:02 | Now you can close the Firefox Preference window by clicking on the Close button. |
02:09 | You can also choose exceptions. |
02:12 | Exceptions are sites whose pop-ups are acceptable to you. |
02:17 | Click on Edit and then Preferences. |
02:20 | Windows users, please click on Tools and then on Options. |
02:26 | In order to add exceptions, Click on the Exceptions button next to the field Block pop-up windows |
02:34 | This opens up a dialog box. |
02:37 | In the Address of website field type ‘w w w dot google dot com’ |
02:44 | Click on the Allow button. |
02:46 | Click Close to close the dialog box |
02:50 | Click Close to close the preferences dialog box. |
02:55 | Now pop-ups will be disallowed from all sites, except from google.com. |
03:01 | Now in the URL bar, type ‘w w w dot pop up test dot com’ and press Enter. |
03:09 | Click on the link ‘multi-popup’test. |
03:12 | Not a single popup has appeared. |
03:15 | Your popup blocker is effective! |
03:20 | Images take time and bandwidth to download. |
03:24 | Mozilla Firefox has an option to selectively stop the downloading of images. |
03:30 | Click on Edit and then Preferences. |
03:33 | Windows users, please click on Tools and then on Options |
03:39 | In the Preferences dialog box, choose the Content tab. |
03:44 | Disable the check box for Load images automatically. |
03:49 | Click on Close to close the dialog box. |
03:53 | Now, in the Search bar, let us type Flowers and press the Enter key. |
04:00 | From the google home page, click on 'Images' |
04:04 | click on the first image link that appears. |
04:08 | We see that the image does not load. |
04:12 | Mozilla Firefox offers a number of options to customize the toolbars. |
04:18 | Let’s say we want to hide any toolbar. For example the Menu bar. |
04:23 | Right click on an empty section of the Menu bar. |
04:27 | And uncheck it.
That's it! |
04:30 | To view the the Menu bar again right-click on an empty section of the toolbar again. |
04:36 | Now check the Menu bar option. |
04:40 | Firefox offers advanced options to customize the toolbars. Lets look at some. |
04:46 | Let us add an icon to the Toolbar, which will allow us to print a web page with a single click. |
04:54 | Right click on an empty section of the Toolbar. |
04:58 | Click on Customize. |
05:00 | The Customize Toolbar dialog box appears. |
05:04 | Within the dialog box, you see the Print icon. |
05:09 | Drag the icon onto the Toolbar. |
05:12 | Close the dialog box by clicking on Done. |
05:17 | Click on the Print icon in the Toolbar. |
05:21 | This brings up the Print dialog box. |
05:25 | We will not be printing now. |
05:28 | So click on Cancel to close the dialog box. |
05:32 | You can also add or remove toolbars. |
05:35 | To do so, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize. |
05:40 | Click on Add new toolbar button. |
05:44 | Enter a name for the new toolbar. Let’s name it Sample Toolbar. |
05:50 | Click on OK button. |
05:53 | Now drag and drop an icon, say Downloads, onto the Sample Toolbar. |
06:01 | Notice the new Toolbar in the browser. |
06:04 | To remove a toolbar, click on Restore Default set button. |
06:10 | In order to maximize the contents area, we can reduce the size of the icons. |
06:16 | Check on the check box titled Use Small icons. |
06:22 | Click Done to close the dialog box. |
06:27 | We see that the size of the icons has become smaller. |
06:32 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
06:36 | In this tutorial, we learnt how to ;Set Pop-up and Image preferences |
06:41 | Customize Toolbar |
