+
+<p>Welcome to &brandShortName;! One of the most popular ways people use
+ &brandShortName; is to browse the Web. The &brandShortName; browser
+ component that lets you visit web pages, offers many ways to visit web pages
+ and search the Web.</p>
+
+<p>This section introduces you to the browser, and how you can use it to
+ navigate, search, and save web pages.</p>

+
+<p>After the first launch, you will normally see your home page when you launch
+ &brandShortName;. Unless you choose a home page yourself, your home page is
+ chosen by your network or Internet service provider, or you see
+ &brandShortName;&apos;s home page.</p>
+
+<p>To choose your own home page, see

+<p>[<a href="#navigating_web_pages">Return to beginning of section</a>]</p>
+
+<h2 id="moving_to_another_page">Moving to Another Page</h2>
+
+<p>You move to a new page by typing its URL&mdash;its location (address) on the
+ Web. URLs normally begin with <q>http://</q>, followed by one or more
+ names that identify the address. For instance,
+ <q>http://www.mozilla.org</q>.</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Click the Location Bar to select the URL that is already there.</li>
+ <li>Type the URL of the page you want to visit. The URL you type replaces any
+ text already in the Location Bar.</li>
+ <li>Press <kbd class="mac">Return</kbd><kbd class="noMac">Enter</kbd>.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Using the lock icon near the lower-right corner of the window, you can check

+
+<p><strong>Don&apos;t know a URL?</strong> You can type part of a URL, such as
+ <q>cnn</q> (for www.cnn.com); or you can type a general word, such as
+ <q>gifts</q> or <q>flowers</q>. The browser guesses what page you
+ want to view, or displays a page with a choice of links related to the word

+ class="noMac">Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>H</kbd>.</p>
+
+<p>If you don&apos;t want the Location Bar or history list to display the pages
+ you&apos;ve been visiting, you can clear the history list and Location Bar
+ history entirely or selectively.</p>
+
+<p>To delete all pages from the Location Bar or history list, begin from the
+ browser window:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the
+ <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span><span class="noMac">Edit</span>
+ menu and choose Preferences.</li>
+ <li>Under the Browser category, click History. (If no subcategories are
+ visible, double-click Browser to expand the list.)</li>
+ <li>Click Clear History and Clear Location Bar to remove all previously

+</ol>
+
+<p><strong>Tip</strong>: Use the preferences under <a
+ href="cs_nav_prefs_navigator.xhtml#history">Browsing History</a> to set
+ how long and how many pages will remain in the history list.</p>
+
+<p>To selectively delete pages from the history list, do any of the
+ following:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>To delete all pages from a domain, select a page within that domain
+ (folder) in the History list, open the Edit menu, and select <q>Delete
+ entire domain <em>*.[domain name]</em></q>. For example, use this command
+ if you want to delete all pages that end in <q>mozilla.org</q>.</li>
+ <li>To delete pages from a subdomain, select a page within that subdomain in
+ the History list, open the Edit menu, and select <q>Delete all from
+ <em>[subdomain]</em></q>. For example, use this command if you want to
+ delete all pages from <q>bugzilla.mozilla.org</q> but not
+ <q>mozilla.org</q>.</li>
+ <li>To delete a single page or folder, select it in the history list and

+
+<h2 id="visiting_bookmarked_pages">Visiting Bookmarked Pages</h2>
+
+<p>The addresses, or URLs, of web pages can be quite long and difficult to
+ remember. Fortunately, it&apos;s not necessary to memorize URLs in order to
+ browse the Web. Your browser has a list of bookmarks, which are pointers to
+ interesting web pages.</p>
+
+<p>To go to a bookmarked page, begin from the Browser window:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the Bookmarks menu. The menu contains bookmarks represented by a
+ bookmark icon, and folders that contain more bookmarks.</li>
+ <li>To visit a bookmarked page, choose a bookmark from the menu, or open a
+ folder and choose a bookmark.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p><strong>Tip</strong>: To retrace your steps, click the Back arrow.</p>
+
+<p>You can save your own bookmarks to point to pages you frequently visit, or
+ to other interesting places on the Web. See
+ <a href="customize_help.xhtml#creating_new_bookmarks">Creating New
+ Bookmarks</a> for more information.</p>

+
+<h2 id="using_tabbed_browsing">Using Tabbed Browsing</h2>
+
+<p>When you visit more then one web page at a time, you can use Tabbed Browsing
+ to navigate the Web faster and easier.</p>
+
+<p>Tabbed Browsing lets you open tabs, each displaying a web page, within a
+ single browser window. You don&apos;t have to have several windows open to
+ visit several different web pages. This frees up space on your desktop. You
+ can open, close, and reload web pages conveniently in one place without
+ having to switch to another window.</p>
+
+<p>You can manage your navigation tabs easily and control when tabs are opened
+ automatically. For more information about setting Tabbed Browsing
+ preferences, see
+ <a href="cs_nav_prefs_navigator.xhtml#tabbed_browsing">Browser Preferences
+ - Tabbed Browsing</a>.</p>
+

+
+<h2 id="using_sidebar">Using Sidebar</h2>
+
+<p>In addition to navigating the Web with the browser, you can let the Web come
+ to you by using Sidebar.</p>
+
+<p>Sidebar is a customizable frame in your browser where you can keep items
+ that you need to use all the time&mdash;the latest news and weather, your
+ address book, stock quotes, a calendar&mdash;and many other available
+ options. Sidebar presents these items to you in tabs that it continually
+ updates.</p>
+
+<p>&brandShortName; comes with some Sidebar tabs already set up, but you can
+ customize Sidebar by adding, removing, and rearranging tabs. For details,
+ see <a href="customize_help.xhtml#sidebar">Sidebar</a>.</p>
+
+<p>To view an item in Sidebar, click its tab.</p>

+
+<h2 id="fast_searches">Fast Searches</h2>
+
+<p>There are four ways to search quickly: from the Location Bar, from Sidebar,
+ from the Net Search page, and by selecting words in a web page.</p>
+
+<h3 id="searching_from_the_location_bar">Searching from the Location Bar</h3>
+
+<p>Searching for web pages on a particular topic is as easy as typing a
+ question, or just a word or two, into the browser&apos;s Location Bar, as
+ shown below.</p>
+
+<p><img src="images/search.png" width="305" height="40" alt=
+ "Location Bar with Search Term"/></p>
+
+<p>For example, if you want to find information about baby dolls:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Double-click in the Location Bar to select the current text.</li>
+ <li>Type the word <q>baby doll</q>. Your typing replaces the current
+ text.</li>
+ <li>Perform one of these steps:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Click the Search button.</li>
+ <li>Click <q>Search Google for <q>baby doll</q></q> at the bottom of the
+ drop-down list in the Location Bar. (Your default search engine may be
+ different.)
+
+ <p>The default search engine you choose in the
+ <a href="cs_nav_prefs_navigator.xhtml#internet_search">Internet
+ Search Preferences</a> is used. Search results for <q>baby doll</q>
+ appear in both the browser window and in Sidebar. Click the links to
+ visit web pages about baby dolls.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>After you perform a search, the results are saved in Sidebar&apos;s Search
+ tab until you do a new search. You don&apos;t have to click the Back button
+ to retrieve the search results.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Note</strong>: In the <q>Unknown Locations</q> section of the
+ <a href="cs_nav_prefs_navigator.xhtml#location_bar">Location Bar
+ Preferences</a>, you can set up the Location Bar so a search is automatically
+ performed if the text you have typed is not a web location. Typing a word in
+ the Location Bar and pressing <kbd class="noMac">Enter</kbd><kbd class="mac">
+ Return</kbd> will then perform a search. For a more technical description of
+ this feature, see the online document
+ <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/internet-keywords.html">
+ Internet Keywords</a>.</p>
+
+<h3 id="searching_from_sidebar">Searching from Sidebar</h3>
+
+<p>The Sidebar Search tab lets you quickly search and bookmark your search
+ results. For example, if you want to find information about toy cars:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>If it is not already open, open Sidebar by clicking its handle. If the
+ handle is missing, <span class="noMac">press <kbd>F9</kbd> or </span>open
+ the View menu in the browser, choose Show/Hide, and then Sidebar from the
+ submenu.</li>
+ <li>Click the Search tab in Sidebar.</li>
+ <li>Open the <q>using</q> drop-down list, and choose a search
+ engine.</li>
+ <li>Type <q>toy car</q> in the search field.</li>
+ <li>Click Search. Search results for &apos;toy car&apos; appear in both the
+ browser window and in Sidebar. Click the links to visit web pages about toy
+ cars.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p><strong>Note</strong>: If the Sidebar Search tab contains a list of search
+ engines from which to choose, then it is set to search in
+ <a href ="#sidebar_advanced_search_mode">Advanced mode</a> and you will have
+ to choose one or more search engines before clicking Search. You can keep it
+ that way or change to a basic setting in Preferences.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Tip</strong>: To display the next or previous page of search results
+ quickly, click the Next and Previous buttons at the bottom of the Sidebar
+ Search tab.</p>
+
+<p>See <a href="customize_help.xhtml#sidebar">Sidebar</a> for more information
+ on how to use Sidebar.</p>
+
+<h3 id="searching_from_the_net_search_page">Searching from the Net
+ Search page</h3>
+
+<p>The Net Search page lets you type in a Search term or phrase, or explore
+ several categories (such as Arts &amp; Entertainment, Business, and many
+ more) that may interest you. To visit the Net Search page, perform one of
+ these steps:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Click on the Search button <img src="images/search_personal_toolbar.gif"
+ width="66" height="20" alt="search button"/> on the Navigation Toolbar.</li>
+ <li>Open the Tools menu and choose Search the Web.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3 id="searching_on_selected_words_in_a_web_page">Searching on Selected Words
+ in a Web Page</h3>
+
+<p>&brandShortName; allows you to search for words you select within a web
+ page:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Select (highlight) any words in a web page.</li>
+ <li>Right-click<span class="mac"> or, if you have a one-button mouse,
+ <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-click</span> and choose <q>Search Web for
+ [your selected words]</q> for the menu.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>&brandShortName; opens a new window or tab (depending on your preferences)
+ and uses your default search engine to search for your selected words. To
+ learn how to change the search engine used to search for your selected words
+ and the way your search results are displayed, see

+ and Fonts</h2>
+
+<p>If you browse, compose, or send and receive email in more than one language,
+ you need to select the appropriate character encodings and fonts.</p>
+
+<p>A character encoding method is the way a document or message has been
+ converted to data to be used by your computer. All web documents and mail and
+ news messages use a character encoding method (also known as a character set,
+ character coding, or charset).</p>
+
+<p>The character encoding method for a document may depend on its language.
+ Some languages e.g. most West European languages, share the same encoding
+ method. Others such as Chinese, Japanese, and Russian use different methods.
+ In contrast, Unicode provides language-independent encoding methods. UTF-8,
+ for examples, can be used for any language document.</p>
+
+<p>Your version of &brandShortName; is set to a default character encoding
+ appropriate for your region. However, if you use more than one language, you
+ may need to select appropriate character encoding methods and designate the
+ fonts you wish to use for your language/script.</p>
+
+<p>To select character encodings, begin from the browser window:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the View menu, choose Character Encoding, and then choose More.</li>
+ <li>Choose a region from the top section of the submenu.</li>
+ <li>Choose a character encoding within the region submenu. Repeat steps
+ 1-3 for each character encoding method you want.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>The character encoding methods you select are added to the Character
+ Encoding menu. If you have more than one encoding method selected, the active
+ one has a bullet (dot) next to it.</p>
+
+<p>&brandShortName; can detect which character encoding a document uses, and
+ can display it correctly on your screen. To take advantage of this
+ capability, begin from the browser window:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the View menu, choose Character Encoding, and then choose
+ Auto-Detect.</li>
+ <li>Choose one of the Auto-Detect options, or choose Off from the
+ submenu.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>To make changes to your list of active character encodings:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the View menu, choose Character Encoding, and then choose Customize.
+ You can see the Customize Encoding dialog box.</li>
+ <li>Choose from the following procedures:
+ <ul>
+ <li>To add to the list of active character encodings, choose a character
+ encoding from the list on the left and click Add.</li>
+ <li>To remove a character encoding from the active list, choose a
+ character encoding from the list on the right and click Remove.</li>
+ <li>To change the order in which active encodings appear in the Character
+ Encoding menu, highlight character encodings in the list on the right,
+ and use the arrow buttons to move the character encodings up or down in
+ the list.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>To change the default fonts within a language group:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the
+ <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span> <span class="noMac">Edit</span>
+ menu and choose Preferences.</li>
+ <li>Under the Appearance category, click Fonts. (If no subcategories are
+ visible, double-click Appearance to expand the list.)</li>
+ <li>From the <q>Fonts for</q> drop-down list, choose a language
+ group/script. For instance, to set default fonts for West European
+ languages/script, choose <q>Western</q>.</li>
+ <li>Select whether proportional text should be serif (like Times Roman) or
+ sans serif (like Arial). You can also specify what font size you want for
+ proportional text. Proportional text varies in width.</li>
+ <li>(If available) Select a font for Serif, Sans-Serif, Cursive, and
+ Fantasy.</li>
+ <li>Select the monospace font (like Courier) that you want to use for web
+ pages. Monospace text is fixed in width, so each character or letter takes
+ the same amount of space.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Many web page authors choose their own fonts and font sizes. You can use the
+ author&apos;s font settings by selecting <q>Allow documents to use other

+
+<h2 id="custom_keywords">Using Custom Bookmark Keywords</h2>
+
+<p>Bookmark keywords allow you to create shorthand aliases for bookmarks and
+ Web searches. For example, if you give the bookmark to http://www.mozilla.org
+ the keyword <q>m.o</q>, you can enter <kbd>m.o</kbd> in the Location Bar and
+ the browser will load http://www.mozilla.org.</p>
+
+<p>To set a keyword, you must first create a bookmark for the URL. Then,</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.</li>
+ <li>In the Bookmarks window, click on the bookmark that you created.</li>
+ <li>Click Properties.</li>
+ <li>In the bookmark Properties dialog box window, enter a short string into
+ the Keyword field and close that dialog.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Now, you can enter the keyword in the Location Bar, and &brandShortName;
+ will load that URL.</p>
+
+<h3 id="search_with_keywords">Search with Keywords</h3>
+
+<p>Custom keywords can be used to create shortcuts for your favorite search
+ engines, too. For example, you can create a keyword so that entering
+ <kbd>g Lord of the Rings</kbd> will perform a Google I-Feel-Lucky search
+ on Lord of the Rings.</p>
+
+<p>To create a custom keyword for use with a Web search:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Go to your search form (e.g. <kbd>www.google.com</kbd>).</li>
+ <li>Enter a dummy search string (e.g. <kbd>ILoveMozilla</kbd>).</li>
+ <li>Submit the search query.</li>
+ <li>After the results have loaded, open the Bookmarks menu and choose File
+ Bookmark.</li>
+ <li>In the File Bookmark dialog, look the Location field. Replace the
+ dummy string (e.g. <tt>ILoveMozilla</tt>) with <kbd>%s</kbd>.
+ For example, the location might become
+ <kbd>http://www.google.com/search?q=<strong>%s</strong>&amp;btnI=I&apos;mFeelingLucky</kbd>.</li>
+ <li>Enter a keyword in the Keyword field.</li>
+ <li>Give the bookmark a name and choose the location for the bookmark.</li>
+ <li>Close the dialog.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Now you can search without going to the search page first by entering
+ <kbd><var>keyword</var> <var>search_words</var></kbd> in the Location Bar.
+</p>
+

+<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html">How Cool are Custom Keywords?</a></p>

+<h2 id="changing_cache_settings">Changing Cache Settings</h2>
+
+<p>Your computer stores copies of frequently accessed pages in the cache. This
+ way, the computer doesn&apos;t have to retrieve the page from the network
+ each time you view it.</p>
+
+<p>To set the size of the cache or to clear it:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the
+ <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span> <span class="noMac">Edit</span>
+ menu and choose Preferences.</li>
+ <li>Under the Advanced category, click Cache. (If no subcategories are
+ visible, double-click Advanced to expand the list.)</li>
+ <li>Enter a number in the Size field to specify the size of the cache. 50 MB
+ is sufficient. To clear the cache immediately, click Clear Cache.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p><strong>Important</strong>: A larger disk cache allows more pages to be
+ quickly retrieved, but more of your hard disk space is used.</p>
+
+<p>When you quit &brandShortName;, it performs cache maintenance. If
+ maintenance takes longer than you wish, try reducing the size of the disk
+ cache.</p>
+
+<p>To specify how often the browser checks the network for page revisions (so
+ that you don&apos;t keep <q>stale</q> pages in the cache too long):</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the
+ <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span> <span class="noMac">Edit</span>
+ menu and choose Preferences.</li>
+ <li>Under the Advanced category, click Cache. (If no subcategories are
+ visible, double-click Advanced to expand the list.)</li>
+ <li>Choose from the following options:
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Every time I view the page</strong>: Select this if you want
+ &brandShortName; to compare a web page to the cache every time you view
+ it.</li>
+ <li><strong>When the page is out of date</strong>: Select this if you
+ want &brandShortName; to compare a web page to the cache when the page
+ is determined by the server to have expired.</li>
+ <li><strong>Once per session</strong>: Select this if you want
+ &brandShortName; to compare a web page to the cache once for each time
+ you start &brandShortName;.</li>
+ <li><strong>Never</strong>: Select this if you do not want
+ &brandShortName; to compare cached information to the network.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>If pages that should be in the cache are taking longer to appear than they
+ should, make sure the preference is not set to <q>Every time I view the
+ page</q>, because the verification requires a network connection that takes
+ time.</p>
+
+<p>To refresh a page at any time:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Click the Reload button in the browser&apos;s Navigation Toolbar. The
+ computer checks the network to make sure you have the latest version of the
+ page.</li>

+
+<p>This section explains how to work with proxies.</p>
+
+<h2 id="setting_proxy_values">Setting Proxy Values</h2>
+
+<p>Many organizations block access from the Internet to their networks. This
+ prevents outside parties from gaining access to sensitive information. The
+ protection is called a firewall.</p>
+
+<p>If your organization has a firewall, the browser may need to go through a
+ proxy server before connecting you to the Internet. The proxy server prevents
+ outsiders from breaking into your organization&apos;s private network.</p>
+
+<p>Before you start:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>If there&apos;s a proxy configuration file at your workplace, ask the
+ system administrator for its URL.</li>
+ <li>If there&apos;s no proxy configuration file, ask your system
+ administrator for the names and port numbers of the servers running proxy
+ software for each network service.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To set the browser to work with the proxy:</p>
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Open the
+ <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span> <span class="noMac">Edit</span>
+ menu and choose Preferences.</li>
+ <li>Under the Advanced category, click Proxies. (If no subcategories are
+ visible, double-click Browser to expand the list.)</li>
+ <li>Select one of the following:
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Direct connection to the Internet</strong>: Choose this if
+ you don&apos;t want to use a proxy.</li>
+ <li><strong>Automatically discover the proxy configuration</strong>:
+ Choose this if you want &brandShortName; to automatically detect and
+ configure the proxy settings, using the
+ <a href="glossary.xhtml#wpad">WPAD protocol</a>.</li>
+ <li><strong>Automatic proxy configuration URL</strong>: Choose this if
+ you have a proxy configuration file or URL, then enter the
+ configuration URL.</li>
+ <li><strong>Manual proxy configuration</strong>: Choose this if you
+ don&apos;t have a proxy location (URL), or the automatic proxy
+ discovery was unable to setup the proxy settings correctly.
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Proxy</strong>: Enter the name or numeric IP address of
+ the proxy server.</li>
+ <li><strong>Port</strong>: Enter the port number in the Port field.
+ Click on <q>Advanced</q> to set
+ <a href="cs_nav_prefs_advanced.xhtml#advanced_proxy_preferences">Advanced
+ Proxy Preferences</a></li>
+ <li><strong>No Proxy for</strong>: Type the domains and/or IP
+ addresses that you do not want to use a proxy for. Separate each
+ entry with a comma. (Example: <kbd>.mozilla.org, .net.nz,
+ 192.168.1.0/24</kbd>.)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Domain names are the part of a URL that contains the name of an
+ organization, business, or school&mdash;such as mozilla.org or
+ washington.org. If you use local host names without the domain name, list
+ them the same way. Use commas to separate multiple host names. The wildcard
+ character [*] cannot be used.</p>
