Time Narration
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.
