Time	Narration
00:00	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on the Mozilla Firefox Interface and Toolbars.
00:05	In this tutorial, we will learn about the Firefox interface and the toolbars.
00:11	In this tutorial, we will use Firefox version 7.0 for Ubuntu 10.04.
00:19	Let’s now take a look at the Firefox interface.
00:23	Firefox has all the features that a modern browser needs to have.
00:28	To learn how to use Mozilla Firefox effectively, one should be familiar with each of its features.
00:34	The Mozilla Firefox interface can be split up into 6 distinct areas, namely-
00:41	The Menu bar, the Navigation toolbar, the Bookmarks bar, the Side bar, the Status bar, and the Content area.
00:53	Let’s look at each of these and learn what it does.
00:57	Let's click on the File menu and click on New Window.
01:01	A new window pops up.
01:05	Some people have trouble looking at small script in their browser.
01:08	So, let's zoom into the page by clicking on View > Zoom and Zoom In.
01:14	Alternately, you can press Ctrl + +.
01:18	This will make the text bigger.
01:21	To know which version of Mozilla Firefox you are using, click on Help and About Firefox.
01:27	By default, Firefox displays a Homepage.
01:32	But, to set your own preferred webpage as Homepage, click on Edit and Preferences.
01:39	Windows users please click on Tools and Options.
01:42	In the General tab, click on Home Page field and type: ‘www.yahoo.com’ or any of your preferred webpage.
01:52	Now you can close Firefox Preferences window by clicking the Close button on the bottom right hand corner.
02:00	You can use the Edit menu to search for particular words within the webpage.
02:05	In the address bar, type: ‘www.google.com’
02:12	Click on Edit and Find.
02:14	A small toolbar appears at the bottom of the browser window.
02:19	In the textbox, type the word ‘Gujarati’.
02:23	You will observe that the word ‘Gujarati’ on the page gets highlighted.
02:28	This function is very useful when searching through large text on a webpage.
02:33	Let's close this.
02:35	As the name suggests, the Navigation toolbar helps you navigate through the internet.
02:41	The Navigation bar is the large text box where you type the address of the webpage that you want to visit.
02:48	It is called the URL bar or Address bar.
02:52	Click on the URL and delete the address that is already there.
02:57	Now, type: ‘www.google.com’.
03:02	Press the Enter key.
03:03	You will now be in the Google Homepage.
03:06	Clicking on the 'back-arrow' icon will take you back to the page where you were before.
03:12	Click on the forward arrow to go back to the Google homepage.
03:17	To the right of the URL bar, is an icon shaped like a house.
03:22	This button takes you back to the default home page from whichever webpage you are on.
03:28	This function is useful when you are browsing from a particular site or a search engine.
03:34	Let's click on the homepage button.
03:36	Remember, we changed the 'home page' to ‘www.yahoo.com’ earlier on.
03:42	As a result, clicking on the homepage button brings us to the "yahoo" homepage.
03:49	Now let's look at the Bookmarks bar.
03:51	'Bookmarks' help you navigate to pages that you visit or refer to often.
03:57	In the URL bar, type: ‘www.gmail.com’.
04:03	Once the page loads, click on the star symbol to the right of the URL bar.
04:10	You see that the star turns yellow.
04:13	Click on the star again.
04:14	A dialog box pops up.
04:17	From the ‘Folder’ drop down menu, choose 'Bookmarks toolbar'.
04:23	Observe that the 'Gmail' bookmark is now added to the Bookmarks toolbar.
04:28	Click on the Homepage icon to go to the "yahoo" homepage.
04:33	Click on the 'Gmail' bookmark. This will direct you to the Gmail login page.
04:39	You can use the bookmarks bar for sites which you visit often but don’t want to have as your homepage.
04:46	Next we will look at the Sidebar.
04:49	Click on View and Sidebar and then click on History.
04:54	You see that the bar on the left side now has 3 options - Today, Yesterday and Older than 6 months.
05:02	The displayed option is subject to the intervals between the usage of Firefox on that computer.
05:09	Click on the plus sign, next to the Today icon, to expand the menu.
05:15	Choose the "google" link to be directed back to the google homepage.
05:19	See how easy it is to go back to the site that you visited before!
05:25	The Sidebar even has a Search function of its own.
05:29	You can type in the name of the site that you want to search for, in the search box.
05:34	This will then search through your history to find it.
05:37	In the search box, type: "google".
05:39	The "google" homepage comes up as the first result.
05:43	You can make the Sidebar disappear by clicking the small ‘x’ on the top right hand corner of the side bar.
05:51	Next, let's see what the Status bar does.
05:55	The Status bar is the area at the bottom of your browser window that shows you the status of the site you are loading.
06:02	Go to the URL bar and type: ‘www.wired.com’ and press Enter key.
06:10	Look at the Status bar quickly. It shows you the status of the loading of that webpage.
06:16	The Status bar can help you to understand why a particular site is not loading, the time it may take to load etc.
06:25	Finally, let's look at the Content area.
06:28	This is where you see the contents of the webpage you are viewing.
06:33	This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
