00:00 | Welcome to this Spoken tutorial of Mozilla Firefox. |
00:04 | In this tutorial, we will learn about: Tabbed Browsing, Storing content offline, Blocking Pop-ups. |
00:13 | In this tutorial, we will use Firefox version 7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04. |
00:21 | Mozilla Firefox allows you to load multiple web pages into separate tabs within the same browser window. |
00:29 | The biggest advantage of tabbed browsing is that it eliminates the need to display multiple browser windows. |
00:36 | And hence it helps to keep your desktop clutter-free. |
00:40 | Each tab occupies the browser's entire viewing area when displayed. |
00:45 | It eliminates the need to frequently resize and reposition the opened browser windows. |
00:52 | Tabbed browsing also consumes less memory and operating system resources than tiled-window browsing |
01:00 | provided the user does not open too many tabs at once. |
01:05 | Let's say, you are on a particular webpage. |
01:08 | Here is a link - “Firefox for Desktop”. |
01:11 | You can open this link in a new tab. |
01:14 | To do so, right-click on the link. |
01:17 | In the context menu, click on Open link in new tab. |
01:21 | You notice that a new tab opens to the right of the existing tab, in the same browser window. |
01:28 | So, without closing or moving out of your window, you can open another webpage in the same window. |
01:34 | You can also open a new tab by clicking on File and New Tab. |
01:40 | The shortcut keys for this are Ctrl+T. |
01:44 | Notice that when you open a new tab, the new tab immediately becomes active. |
01:50 | Now go to the URL bar and type: ‘www.google.com’. |
01:56 | You will now have 3 tabs, each with a different web page! |
02:01 | You can also open a new tab by clicking the ‘+’ button to the right of the rightmost tab. |
02:08 | We can also arrange the tabs as per our requirements. |
02:11 | Just click on a tab and without releasing the mouse button, move it to the required location. |
02:17 | Now release the 'mouse button'. |
02:20 | The tab is now in the desired location. |
02:23 | Let us look at some basic operations which Mozilla Firefox allows us to perform. |
02:29 | Let us change the search engine to “google”. |
02:32 | In the Search bar type: ‘email wikipedia’ and click on the magnifying glass to the right of the 'Search bar'. |
02:40 | The relevant Wikipedia page is the first search result. |
02:44 | Let's open this page by clicking on the link. |
02:48 | Now, click on File and then on “Save Page As”. |
02:52 | Let's save the file on the Desktop with the name ‘Search.html’. |
02:59 | Now, let us open a new tab in the browser window by clicking on File and New Tab. |
03:05 | Now, let's open our saved page in this new Tab window. |
03:10 | Click on File and Open File . |
03:12 | Browse and open the saved file. |
03:17 | In the URL bar, you see that the address is not an internet address but a local location on your computer. |
03:25 | Now you can read this page, even when you are offline. |
03:29 | Pop-ups are windows that appear automatically without your permission. |
03:34 | Firefox allows us to control both pop-ups and pop-unders through the Content tab within Preferences window. |
03:42 | On 'Windows', this would be within the Options window. |
03:46 | Pop-up blocking is turned on, by default. |
03:50 | Click on Edit and Preferences. |
03:52 | Windows users please click on Tools and Options. |
03:56 | In the Content tab, the first option Block pop-up windows is checked, by default. |
04:02 | If not, then please check this option. |
04:05 | The various options of this dialog box will be discussed in another tutorial. |
04:11 | Click on the Close button. |
04:13 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
