Time Narration
0:00 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Setting Pop-up and Image options in Mozilla Firefox.
0:07 In this tutorial, we will learn; How to set Pop up and image preferences
0:13 Customize Toolbar.
0:15 Pop-up windows, or pop-ups, are windows that appear automatically without your permission.
0:21 They vary in size but usually don't cover the whole screen.
0:27 Some pop-ups open on top of the current Firefox window, while others appear underneath Firefox (pop-unders).
0:37 Pop-ups can be quite irritating and that’s the main reason you want to disable them.
0:42 In this tutorial, we are using Firefox version 7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04
0:50 Let us open a Firefox browser.
0:53 In the URL bar, let us type ‘w w w dot pop up test dot com’
1:01 Press the enter key.
1:03 This site shows you what a pop up is.
1:07 Click on the link that says ‘multi-popup test’
1:12 You will see 6 pop ups.
1:20 Click on Back.
1:22 2 more pop-ups appear. See how irritating they are?
1:28 Firefox allows you to control both pop-ups and pop-unders. This is done by clicking on Edit and then Preferences.
1:37 Windows users, please click on Tools and then on Options.
1:43 In the Preferences window, click on the Content tab.
1:48 The Block pop-up windows option is already turned on, by default.
1:53 If not, then you need to check it.
1:56 So you don't have to worry about enabling it to prevent pop-ups from appearing in Firefox.
2:02 Now you can close the Firefox Preference window by clicking on the Close button.
2:09 You can also choose exceptions.
2:12 Exceptions are sites whose pop-ups are acceptable to you.
2:17 Click on Edit and then Preferences.
2:20 Windows users, please click on Tools and then on Options.
2:26 In order to add exceptions, Click on the Exceptions button next to the field Block pop-up windows
2:34 This opens up a dialog box.
2:37 In the Address of website field type ‘w w w dot google dot com’
2:44 Click on the Allow button.
2:46 Click Close to close the dialog box
2:50 Click Close to close the preferences dialog box.
2:55 Now pop-ups will be disallowed from all sites, except from google.com.
3:01 Now in the URL bar, type ‘w w w dot pop up test dot com’ and press Enter.
3:09 Click on the link ‘multi-popup’test.
3:12 Not a single popup has appeared.
3:15 Your popup blocker is effective!
3:20 Images take time and bandwidth to download.
3:24 Mozilla Firefox has an option to selectively stop the downloading of images.
3:30 Click on Edit and then Preferences.
3:33 Windows users, please click on Tools and then on Options
3:39 In the Preferences dialog box, choose the Content tab.
3:44 Disable the check box for Load images automatically.
3:49 Click on Close to close the dialog box.
3:53 Now, in the Search bar, let us type Flowers and press the Enter key.
4:00 From the google home page, click on 'Images'
4:04 click on the first image link that appears.
4:08 We see that the image does not load.
4:12 Mozilla Firefox offers a number of options to customize the toolbars.
4:18 Let’s say we want to hide any toolbar. For example the Menu bar.
4:23 Right click on an empty section of the Menu bar.
4:27 And uncheck it.

That's it!

4:30 To view the the Menu bar again right-click on an empty section of the toolbar again.
4:36 Now check the Menu bar option.
4:40 Firefox offers advanced options to customize the toolbars. Lets look at some.
4:46 Let us add an icon to the Toolbar, which will allow us to print a web page with a single click.
4:54 Right click on an empty section of the Toolbar.
4:58 Click on Customize.
5:00 The Customize Toolbar dialog box appears.
5:04 Within the dialog box, you see the Print icon.
5:09 Drag the icon onto the Toolbar.
5:12 Close the dialog box by clicking on Done.
5:17 Click on the Print icon in the Toolbar.
5:21 This brings up the Print dialog box.
5:25 We will not be printing now.
5:28 So click on Cancel to close the dialog box.
5:32 You can also add or remove toolbars.
5:35 To do so, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize.
5:40 Click on Add new toolbar button.
5:44 Enter a name for the new toolbar. Let’s name it Sample Toolbar.
5:50 Click on OK button.
5:53 Now drag and drop an icon, say Downloads, onto the Sample Toolbar.
6:01 Notice the new Toolbar in the browser.
6:04 To remove a toolbar, click on Restore Default set button.
6:10 In order to maximize the contents area, we can reduce the size of the icons.
6:16 Check on the check box titled Use Small icons.
6:22 Click Done to close the dialog box.
4:27 We see that the size of the icons has become smaller.
6:32 This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
