| 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. |

| 07:03 | Install the theme 'NASA night launch'. |
