From: Daniel Baumann This section describes how to use various windows displayed at different times by
+ Certificate Manager. The additional information given here appears when you click
+ the Help button in one of those windows. The Certificate Viewer displays information about a certificate you selected
+ in one of the Certificate Manager tabs. The General tab summarizes
+ information about who issued the certificate, its verification status, what
+ the certificate can be used for, and so on. The Details tab provides complete
+ details on the certificate's contents. If you are not currently viewing the Certificate Viewer, follow these
+ steps: When you first open the Certificate Viewer, the General tab displays several
+ kinds of information about the selected certificate: Click the Details tab at the top of the Certificate Viewer to see more
+ detailed information about the selected certificate. To examine information
+ for any certificate in the Certificate Hierarchy area, select its name,
+ select the field under Certificate Fields that you want to examine, and
+ read the field's value under Field Value: The Certificate Viewer displays basic ANSI types in human-readable form
+ wherever possible. For fields whose contents the Certificate Manager cannot
+ interpret, it displays the actual values contained in the certificate. A security device (sometimes called a token) is a hardware or software
+ device that provides cryptographic services such as encryption and decryption
+ and stores certificates and keys. The Choose Security Device window appears
+ when Certificate Manager needs help deciding which security device to use
+ when importing a certificate or performing a cryptographic operation, such as
+ generating keys for a new certificate. This window allows you to select one
+ of two or more security devices that Certificate Manager has detected on your
+ machine. A smart card is one example of a security device. For example, if a smart
+ card reader connected to your computer has a smart card inserted in it, the
+ name of the smart card will show up in the drop-down menu. In this case, you
+ must choose the name of the smart card from the menu to let Certificate
+ Manager know that you want to use it. The Certificate Manager also supplies its own default, built-in security
+ device, which can always be used no matter what additional devices are or
+ aren't available. Certificate authorities (CAs)
+ that issue separate signing and encryption email certificates typically make
+ backup copies of your private
+ encryption key during the
+ certificate enrollment process. The Encryption Key Copy dialog box allows you to approve the creation of
+ such a backup or cancel the certificate request. A CA that has archived a
+ backup copy of your encryption key has the potential capability of
+ decrypting any messages you receive that were encrypted with your
+ corresponding public key. You can take these actions from the Encryption Key Copy dialog box: If you are not sure whether to trust the CA that is requesting the
+ backup copy, talk to your system administrator. After your CA makes a backup copy of the encryption key, you will be able to
+ use that key to access your encrypted mail even if you lose your password or
+ lose your own copy of the key. If no backup copy of your encryption key
+ exists and you lose your password or the key, you will have no way of reading
+ email messages that were encrypted with that key. When you receive a certificate, make a backup copy of the certificate and
+ its private key, then store the copy in a safe place. For example, you can
+ put the copy on a floppy disk and store it with other valuable items under
+ lock and key. That way, even if you have hard disk or file corruption
+ problems, you can easily restore the certificate. It can be inconvenient, at best, and in some situations catastrophic to lose
+ your certificate and its associated private key, depending on what you use it
+ for. For example: Like any other valuable data, certificates should be backed up to avoid
+ future trouble and expense. Do it now so you don't forget. Some websites require that you identify yourself with a certificate rather
+ than a name and password, because certificates provide a more reliable form
+ of identification. This method of identifying yourself over the Internet is
+ sometimes called
+ client authentication. However, Certificate Manager may have more than one certificate on file that
+ can be used for the purposes of identifying yourself to a website. In this
+ case, Certificate Manager presents the User Identification Request dialog
+ box, which displays two kinds of information: This site has requested that you identify yourself with a
+ certificate: This section of the dialog box lists the following
+ information: Choose a certificate to present as identification: The
+ certificates you have available for the purposes of identifying yourself to a
+ website are listed in the drop-down list in this section of the dialog box.
+ Choose the certificate that seems most likely to be recognized by the website
+ you want to visit. To help you decide, the following details of the selected certificate are
+ displayed: The certificates that the Certificate Manager has on file, whether stored on
+ your computer or on an external security device such as a smart card, include
+ certificates that identify
+ certificate authorities (CAs).
+ To be able to recognize any other certificates it has on file, Certificate
+ Manager must have certificates for the CAs that issued or authorized issuance
+ of those certificates. When you decide to trust a CA, Certificate Manager downloads that CA's
+ certificate and can then recognize the kinds of certificates you trust that
+ CA to issue. Before downloading a new CA certificate, Certificate Manager allows you to
+ specify the purposes for which you trust the certificate, if at all. You can
+ select any of the following options: Before you decide to trust a new CA, make sure that you know who is
+ operating it. Make sure the CA's policies and procedures are
+ appropriate for the kinds of certificates it issues. For example, if the CA
+ issues certificates identifying websites you use for financial transactions,
+ make sure you are comfortable with the level of assurance the CA
+ provides. When you attempt to go to a website that supports the use of
+ SSL for
+ authentication and
+ encryption, you may be faced with an
+ error page. There are two types, one called
+ Secure Connection Failed and one
+ called Untrusted Connection. In the case where you have disabled the SSL protocol (e.g. through
+ SSL/TLS Settings) or the website
+ that you are accessing is using an older, insecure version of the SSL protocol
+ then you will be presented with a page titled "Secure Connection
+ Failed". That page contains some basic background information (including
+ the Error code that uniquely identifies the type of problem
+ &brandShortName; detected with the website) and a Try Again
+ button that triggers a page reload. If SSL itself is enabled then the error page that you will be presented with
+ will be titled "This Connection is Untrusted". There are many
+ different reasons why a connection can appear untrusted. Here are some of the
+ most common ones: The page displayed in the above cases is meant to help you understand why
+ &brandShortName; was unable to establish a secure connection to the website.
+ It starts by telling you that the website's identity could not be
+ verified, then offers you to leave the page by clicking the This
+ sounds bad, take me to my home page instead button. If you are unsure
+ what to do it is recommended that you follow this advice. If you want to know a little bit more about the actual problem at hand you
+ may expand the corresponding section by clicking the chevron in front of
+ Technical Details. That section also contains the
+ Error code that uniquely identifies the type of problem
+ &brandShortName; detected with the website. The I Understand the Risks section of the Untrusted
+ Connection page allows you to tell &brandShortName; to explicitly override the
+ security checks for this website by adding an exception. If you expand the
+ section by clicking the chevron in front of it you will see an Add
+ Exception button that will take you to a dialog allowing you to get
+ and view the website's certificate and optionally add a Security
+ Exception for it (either permanently or just for the current session). Those
+ exceptions can be administered through the Certificate Manager's
+ Servers tab. In cases where &brandShortName; cannot determine the actual cause of the
+ problem a dialog titled "Secure Connection Failed" is shown in
+ addition to the Untrusted Connection
+ page. That dialog includes a View Certificate button
+ that allows you to examine the website's certificate more closely. Like a credit card, a driver's license, and many other forms of
+ identification, a certificate is
+ valid for a specified period of time. When a certificate expires, the owner
+ of the certificate needs to get a new one. &brandShortName; warns you when you
+ attempt to visit a website whose server certificate has expired. The first
+ thing you should do is make sure the time and date displayed by your computer
+ is correct. If your computer's clock is set to a date that is after the
+ expiration date, &brandShortName; treats the website's certificate as
+ expired. If your computer's clock is set correctly, you need to make a decision
+ about whether to trust the website. This decision depends on what you intend
+ to do at the website and what else you know about it. Most commercial sites
+ will make sure that they replace their certificates before they expire. If you
+ choose to continue you need to add a
+ security exception. Like a credit card, a driver's license, and many other forms of
+ identification, a certificate is
+ valid for a specified period of time. &brandShortName; warns you when you
+ attempt to visit a website whose server certificate's validity period has
+ not yet started. The first thing you should do is make sure the time and date
+ displayed by your own computer is correct. If your computer's clock is
+ set to the wrong date, &brandShortName; may treat the server certificate as
+ not yet valid even if this is not the case. If your computer's clock is set correctly, you need to make a decision
+ about whether to trust the website. This decision depends on what you intend
+ to do at the website and what else you know about it. Most commercial sites
+ will make sure that the validity period for their certificates has begun
+ before beginning to use them. If you choose to continue you need to
+ add a security exception. A server certificate specifies the
+ name of the server in the form of the website's domain name. For example,
+ the domain name for the Mozilla website is www.mozilla.org. If the
+ domain name in a server's certificate doesn't match the actual
+ domain name of the website, it may be a sign that someone is attempting to
+ intercept your communication with the website. &brandShortName; warns you when you
+ attempt to visit a website whose server certificate's domain does not
+ match the domain of the website you are trying to visit. The decision whether
+ to trust the website anyway depends on what you intend to do at the site and
+ what else you know about it. Most commercial sites will make sure that the
+ host name for a website certificate matches the website's actual host
+ name. If you choose to continue you need to
+ add a security exception. If you decide to accept the certificate anyway (either for this session or
+ permanently), you should be cautious about what you do on the website, and you
+ should treat any information you find there as potentially suspect. This section describes how to use the Certificate Manager. For more
+ information on using certificates, see Using
+ Certificates. If you are not currently viewing the Certificate Manager window, follow
+ these steps: The Your Certificates tab in the Certificate
+ Manager displays the certificates on file that identify you. Your
+ certificates are listed under the names of the organizations that issued
+ them. If you can't see certificate names under an organization's
+ name, double-click the name to expand it. Use the following buttons to view and manage your certificates (most actions
+ require one or more certificates to be selected): Note: Certificates on smart cards cannot be backed up.
+ Whether you select some of your certificates and click Backup, or click
+ Backup All, the resulting backup file will not include any certificates
+ stored on smart cards or other external security devices. You can only
+ back up certificates that are stored on the built-in Software Security
+ Device. A certificate backup password protects one or more certificates that you are
+ backing up from the Your Certificates tab in
+ the Certificate Manager. The Certificate Manager asks you to set this password when you back up
+ certificates, and requests it when you attempt to import certificates that
+ have previously been backed up. If someone obtains the file containing a certificate that you have backed up
+ and successfully imports the certificate, that person can send messages or
+ access websites while pretending to be you. This can be a problem, for
+ example, if you digitally sign important email messages or manage your bank
+ or investment accounts over the Internet. Therefore, it's important to select a certificate backup password that
+ is difficult to guess. The password quality meter gives you
+ a rough idea of the quality of your password as you type it based on factors
+ such as length and the use of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers,
+ and symbols. It does not guarantee that your password cannot be guessed,
+ however. For further guidelines, see
+ Choosing a Good
+ Password. It's also important to record the password in a safe place—and
+ not anywhere that's easily accessible to someone else. If you forget
+ this password, you can't import the backup of your certificate. Before deleting one of your own expired certificates from the
+ Your Certificates tab in the Certificate
+ Manager, make sure you won't need it again some day for reading old
+ email messages that you may have encrypted with the corresponding private
+ key. The People tab in the Certificate Manager
+ displays email certificates you have on file that identify other people. When people send you digitally signed email messages, Certificate Manager
+ imports their certificates automatically. You can use these certificates to
+ send encrypted messages to those people. Certificates that identify people are listed under the names of the
+ organizations that issued them. If you can't see certificate names under
+ an organization's name, double-click the name to expand it. Use the following buttons to view and manage your certificates (most actions
+ require one or more certificates to be selected): Before deleting someone else's certificate from the
+ People tab in the Certificate Manager, make sure you
+ won't need it again some day to send encrypted email to that person or
+ to verify digital signatures on messages from that person. The Servers tab in the Certificate Manager displays certificates you have
+ on file that identify servers (websites, mail servers). Certificates that identify servers are grouped under the names of the
+ organizations that issued them. If you can't see certificate names under
+ an organization's name, double-click the name to expand it. Use the following buttons to view and manage your certificates (most actions
+ require one or more certificates to be selected): Before deleting a server certificate from the
+ Servers tab in the Certificate Manager, make sure that
+ you won't need it again for the purposes of identifying a website or
+ mail server and setting up an encrypted connection. The Authorities tab in the Certificate
+ Manager displays the certificates you have on file that identify
+ certificate authorities
+ (CAs). CA certificates are grouped under the names of the organizations that issued
+ them. If you can't see certificate names under an organization's
+ name, double-click the name to expand it. Use the following buttons to view and manage your certificates (most actions
+ require one or more certificates to be selected): To ensure that an entire
+ certificate chain of CAs are
+ all trusted, you need to edit the root CA certificate only. To import the chain, you click a link on a web page provided by the CA. You
+ can then use the authorities tab to locate the root certificate and edit its
+ trust settings. The root and intermediate CAs all appear under the same organization. The
+ root certificate is the one that lists itself as the issuer. If you download an intermediate CA: If you download an
+ intermediate CA certificate that chains to a root certificate already marked
+ as trusted in your browser, you don't have to indicate what purposes you
+ trust it for. Intermediate certificates automatically inherit the trust
+ settings of their roots. When you select a CA certificate from the
+ Authorities tab in the Certificate Manager and
+ click Edit, you see a window entitled The settings have these effects: Click OK to confirm the settings you have selected. Before deleting a CA certificate from the
+ Authorities tab in the Certificate Manager,
+ make sure that you won't need it again to validate certificates issued
+ by that CA. If you delete the only valid certificate you have for a CA,
+ Certificate Manager will no longer trust any certificates issued by that
+ CA. The Others tab in the Certificate Manager displays certificates you have
+ on file that do not fit in any of the other categories, i.e. certificates
+ that neither belong to you, other people, servers or CAs. Other certificates are grouped under the names of the organizations that
+ issued them. If you can't see certificate names under an
+ organization's name, double-click the name to expand it. Use the following buttons to view and manage your certificates: This section describes the options available in the Device Manager window.
+ For background information and step-by-step instructions on the use of the
+ Device Manager, see
+ Managing
+ Smart Cards and Other Security Devices. If you are not currently viewing the Device Manager window, follow these
+ steps: The Device Manager lists each available PKCS #11 module, and the security
+ devices managed by each module below the module's name. When you select a module or device, information about the selected item
+ appears in the middle of the window, and some of the buttons on the right
+ side of the window become available. In general, you perform an action on
+ a module or device by selecting its name and clicking the appropriate
+ button: This section describes how to set your certificate preferences and how to
+ use the Certificate Manager, Device Manager, and other dialog boxes related
+ to certificates. For step-by-step descriptions of various tasks related to certificates, see
+ Using Certificates. This section describes use the Certificates preferences panel. To view
+ Certificates preferences, follow these steps: Some websites require you to identify yourself with a certificate. The
+ option you select here determines how the browser identifies the certificate
+ to present among those you may have on file: Certificates are the digital equivalent of ID cards—they help other
+ people identify you, and they help you identify other people, websites, and
+ organizations. To examine or configure the certificates you have on file, click Manage
+ Certificates. See Managing
+ Certificates for further information on this dialog. A security device is a hardware or software device that stores your
+ certificates and keys. For example, a smart card is a security device. Your
+ browser has its own built-in software security device, and you can use
+ additional security devices, such as smart cards, at the same time. To examine or configure your security devices, click Manage Security
+ Devices. See Managing
+ Smart Cards and Other Security Devices for further information on
+ this dialog. A certificate revocation list (CRL) is a list of revoked certificates that
+ is generated and signed by a
+ certificate authority
+ (CA). The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) makes it possible for
+ Certificate Manager to perform an online check of a certificate's
+ validity each time the certificate is viewed or used. This process involves
+ checking the certificate against a CRL maintained at a server specified by
+ the CA of that certificate. Your computer must be online for OCSP to work. The following settings in the OCSP section of the Certificates preferences
+ panel determine how Certificate Manager uses OCSP: Note: If this setting is not selected, Certificate
+ Manager will only confirm the certificate's validity period and that
+ it is correctly signed by a CA whose own CA certificate is both listed
+ under the CA Certificates tab (in the main Certificate Manager window)
+ and marked as trusted for issuing that kind of certificate. For more detailed information on certificate validation, see
+ How Certificate
+ Validation Works. &brandShortName; Composer lets you create your own web pages and publish
+ them on the web. You don't have to know HTML to use Composer; it is as
+ easy to use as a word processor. Toolbar buttons let you add lists, tables, images, links to other pages,
+ colors, and font styles. You can see what your document will look like on
+ the Web as you create it, and you can easily share your document with
+ other users, no matter what type of browser or HTML-capable email program
+ they use. To start using &brandShortName; Composer: &brandShortName; Composer is an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) editor that
+ allows you to create and edit web pages. Composer is a WYSIWYG (What
+ You See Is What You Get) editor, so you can display how your page will look
+ to the reader as you're creating it. It is not necessary for you to know
+ HTML, since most of the basic HTML functions are available as commands from
+ the toolbars and menus. Composer also lets you edit the HTML source if you want. To view or edit the
+ HTML source code, open the View menu, and choose HTML Source, or click the
+ <HTML> Source tab in the Edit Mode toolbar at the bottom of the
+ Composer window. To create a web page, use one of the methods described below. Once
+ you've started a page, you can add and edit text just as you would
+ in a word processor. To create a new page from the browser: To edit a page you're currently viewing in the
+ browser: To create a new page in Composer: To start from an HTML file stored on your local drive: To edit a web page: Tip: In the Composer window you can quickly open the most
+ recent file you've been working on by opening the File menu, choosing
+ Recent Pages, and then selecting the file you want from the list. [Return to beginning of section] You can save Composer documents in HTML or text-only format. Saving a
+ document in HTML format preserves the document's formatting, such
+ as text styles (for example, bold or italic), tables, links, and images.
+ Saving a document in text-only format removes all the HTML tags but
+ preserves the document's text. To save a document as an HTML file: If you haven't already given your page a title, Composer prompts
+ you to do so. Composer displays the page title in the browser
+ window's title bar when you view the page in the browser. The
+ document's page title also appears in your list of bookmarks
+ if you bookmark the page. Composer then prompts you to enter a filename and specify the location
+ where you want to save the file. Make sure you preserve the .html
+ extension in the filename. To change the filename or location of an existing HTML file: When you save a page in Composer, all parts of the page (the HTML, images
+ and other files, such as sound files and style sheets), are saved locally
+ on your hard drive. If you only want to save the HTML part of the page, you
+ must change the Composer preference for saving pages. See
+ Composer Preferences - Composer for more information
+ on changing Composer's setting for saving pages. If an image location is absolute (starts with To save a document as a text-only file: Note: Images do not appear in documents saved in the
+ text-only format. Tip: You can choose Revert to Last Saved from the File
+ menu to retrieve the most recently saved copy of the document in which
+ you're working. Keep in mind that your current changes will be lost. To view your page in a browser window in order to test your links: [Return to beginning of section] To apply a format to a paragraph, begin from the Composer window: You might want to include the date and a copyright notice. This
+ format usually appears at the bottom of the web page under a
+ horizontal line. The browser displays the address format in
+ italics. To format text as a heading: To apply a list item format: Tip: You can quickly apply a list style to a block of
+ text by selecting the text and clicking the Numbered List
+
+ or Bulleted List
+
+ buttons on the Format toolbar. To change the style of bullets or numbers: Tip: You can also double-click on a bullet or number in a
+ list to display the List Properties dialog box. To align a paragraph or text in your page, for example, centering or
+ aligning to the left or right: Note: You can also use the Format toolbar to align
+ text. [Return to beginning of
+ section] To end a list and continue typing body text: To change one or more list items to body text: To position indented text below a list item: Tip: You can increase or decrease the indentation of list
+ items by clicking anywhere in a list item and then clicking the Indent or
+ Outdent button on the Format toolbar. Alternatively, click anywhere in a
+ list item and press Tab to indent one level. Press
+ Shift+Tab to outdent one level. To merge two adjacent lists: [Return to beginning of
+ section] To change the style, color, or font of selected text: Note: The fonts Helvetica, Arial, Times, and
+ Courier generally look the same when viewed on different computers.
+ If you select a different font, it may not look the same when viewed
+ using a different computer. To change the background color of the page: Tip: To quickly change the color of text to the color
+ last used, select the text, then press Shift and click on the text color
+ block in the Format toolbar. This is useful when you want to use one
+ color for separate lines of text. You can also use an image as a background. See
+ Setting Page Colors and
+ Backgrounds. [Return to beginning of
+ section] To remove all text styles (bold, italic, and so on) from selected text: To continue typing text with all text styles removed: [Return to beginning of
+ section] To find text in the page you're currently working on: To find and replace text in the page you're currently working on: [Return to beginning of
+ section] Horizontal lines are typically used to separate different sections of a
+ document visually. To insert a horizontal line (also called a rule)
+ in your page, begin from the Composer window: You can customize a line's height, length, width, alignment, and
+ shading. Tip: You can select [Return to beginning of
+ section] To insert special characters such as accent marks, copyrights, or currency
+ symbols: You can continue typing in your document (or in a mail compose window)
+ while you keep this dialog box open, in case you want to use it
+ again. [Return to beginning of
+ section] If you understand how to work with HTML source code, you can insert
+ additional tags, style attributes, and JavaScript into your page. If you are
+ not sure how to work with HTML source code, it's best not to change it.
+ To work with HTML code, use one of these methods: To add HTML attributes and JavaScript to objects such as tables, images,
+ and horizontal lines, you can use the Advanced Property Editor. Note: Unless you clearly understand how to add, delete, or
+ modify HTML attributes and their associated values, it's best not to do
+ so. If you are not currently viewing the Advanced Property Editor dialog box,
+ follow these steps: Note: Required attributes are highlighted in the
+ Attribute list. Composer automatically places quotation marks around any attribute text. [Return to beginning of
+ section] Before you put your document on a web server so that others can see it, you
+ should first check the document's HTML formatting to make sure it
+ conforms to web standards. Documents containing validated HTML are less
+ likely to cause problems when viewed by different browsers. Just visually
+ checking your web pages in the browser doesn't ensure that your document
+ will appear correctly when viewed in other web browsers. Composer provides a convenient way for you to check that your document
+ conforms to W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) HTML standards. Composer uses
+ the W3C HTML Validation Service, which checks your document's HTML
+ syntax for compliance with HTML 4.01 standards. This service also provides
+ information on how to correct errors. Note: You must be connected to the Internet to use this
+ feature. To validate your document's HTML syntax: [Return to beginning of
+ section] Typically, you won't need to change the editing mode from the default
+ (Normal). However, if you want to work with the document's HTML source
+ code, you may want to change editing modes. Composer allows you to quickly switch between four editing modes or views.
+ Each editing mode allows you to continue working on your document, but
+ displays varying levels of HTML tags (and tag icons). Before you choose an editing mode: The Edit Mode toolbar has four tabs: Note: JavaScript functions, frames, links, embedded objects
+ and animated GIF files are not active in any of the editing modes. To display
+ these items in their active state, click the Browse button on the Composition
+ toolbar to load the page into a browser window. [Return to beginning of
+ section] Tables are useful for organizing text, pictures, and data into formatted
+ rows and columns. To insert a table: Note: Composer uses a red dotted line to indicate
+ tables with a zero border; the dotted line disappears when the page
+ is viewed in a browser. To change additional properties for your new table, see
+ Changing a Table's
+ Properties.
+ Tip: To insert a table within a table, open the
+ Insert menu and choose Table. [Return to beginning of
+ section] This section describes how to modify properties that apply to an entire
+ table as well as the rows, columns, or individual cells within a table. If
+ you are not currently viewing the Table Properties dialog box, follow these
+ steps: Note: Composer uses a dotted outline to display
+ tables with a zero border; the dotted line disappears when the page
+ is viewed in a browser. To view, change, or add properties for one or more cells: Note: To apply additional attributes or JavaScript
+ events, click Advanced Edit to display the
+ Advanced Property
+ Editor
+ Tip: To change the text color or background color of one
+ or more selected cells or the entire table, select the cells or click
+ anywhere in the table and then click the text color or background color
+ icon in the Format toolbar. Tip: To change the color of cells to the color last used,
+ select the cell, then press Shift and click on the background color picker.
+ This is useful when you want to use one color for individual cells. [Return to beginning of
+ section] Composer allows you to quickly add or delete one or more cells, columns,
+ or rows in a table. In addition, you can set options that allow you to
+ maintain the original rectangular structure or layout of the table while
+ you perform editing tasks. To add a cell, row, or column to your table: To delete a cell, row, or column: To join (or merge) a cell with the cell on its right: To join (or merge) adjacent cells: To split a joined cell back into two or more cells: Refer to Selecting Table Elements
+ for information on how to select non-adjacent cells, rows, and
+ columns. By default, when you delete one or more cells, Composer preserves the
+ table's structure by adding cells at the end of a row, wherever
+ needed. This allows you to delete one or more cells but still maintain
+ the table's original rectangular layout, or structure. Otherwise,
+ deleting cells can result in a table with empty spaces, or whose outline
+ appears irregular due to an uneven number of cells. To change the default table editing behavior, begin from the Composer
+ window: [Return to beginning of
+ section] You can use one of two ways to quickly select a table, cell, or group of
+ cells: [Return to beginning of
+ section] To move a table: [Return to beginning of
+ section] To convert text into a table: Note: Text formatting is removed when the selected text
+ is converted to a table. [Return to beginning of
+ section] You can insert GIF, JPEG, BMP, and PNG (Portable Network Graphics) images
+ into your web page. You can also use them to
+ create links. When you insert an image,
+ Composer saves a reference to the image in your page. Note: If you plan to publish your pages to the web,
+ it's best not to use BMP images in your pages. Tip: It's best to first save or publish your page
+ before you insert images into it. This allows Composer to automatically
+ use relative references to images once you insert them. To insert an image: Alternatively, you can choose not to include alternate text. Tip: To quickly insert an image: Drag and drop it onto
+ your page. Tip: To insert a line break after all images in a
+ paragraph, choose Break Below Images from the Insert menu. [Return to beginning of
+ section] Once you've inserted an image into your page, you can edit its
+ properties and customize the layout in your page, such as the height,
+ width, spacing, and text alignment. If you are not currently viewing
+ the Image Properties dialog box, follow these steps: Unchecking this box causes Composer to convert the URL to a full
+ (absolute) URL. You typically use absolute URLs when linking to
+ images on other web servers (not stored locally on your hard
+ disk). If you have never saved or published the page, you must first save
+ the page in order to enable this checkbox. (This checkbox is not
+ available if you open the Image Properties dialog box in a message
+ compose window.) Unchecking this box causes Composer to convert the URL to a full
+ (absolute) URL. You typically use absolute URLs when linking to files
+ on other web servers (not stored locally on your hard disk). If you have unsaved changes, you must first save the page in order
+ to enable this checkbox. (This checkbox is not available if you open
+ the Image Properties dialog box in a message compose window.) [Return to beginning of
+ section] &brandShortName; Composer allows you to write mathematical formulas, encoded
+ in your web page as MathML and
+ generated from a convenient
+ LaTeX-like syntax. To insert a formula: To modify a mathematical formula, move the insertion point inside it.
+ Then open the context menu and choose Advanced Properties to
+ edit the LaTeX source again.
+ Alternatively, you can open the Insert menu and choose Math.
+ Note: &brandShortName; Composer attaches the LaTeX source to
+ the generated MathML expressions so that they can be edited again. In
+ general it is currently not possible to edit an arbitrary MathML expression
+ unless it has a LaTeX expression associated that is supported by
+ &brandShortName; Composer.
+ The Insert Math box contains a text field where you can enter mathematical
+ expressions using a LaTeX-like syntax.
+ If you are not familiar with LaTeX, here are the basics:
+ There exists a large collection of LaTeX commands and there is not any
+ finite and well-defined list of them. &brandShortName; Composer only supports
+ the TeXZilla commands
+ which are themselves based on the itex2MML commands
+ and should cover the most popular constructions. One of the nice features of
+ TeXZilla is that it accepts arbitrary characters as input so that
+ \left⌊α^2\right⌋ is equivalent to the more verbose
+ \left\lfloor\alpha^2\right\rfloor and generates
+ . You do not need to know all the LaTeX commands to edit formulas. Instead, a
+ panel of predefined expressions is available. Click any of the panel buttons
+ to insert the corresponding LaTeX expression. Arguments in LaTeX expressions
+ are represented by ellipses. You can just edit the LaTeX source to
+ replace them with the actual content you want. Tip: If you select a subexpression in the LaTeX source field
+ and use the construction panel to insert a LaTeX expression with at least one
+ argument, that subexpression will be used as the first argument of the
+ new expression. [Return to

+ author, and description of the document you're currently working on.
+ This information is useful if you plan to use the page on a website, since
+ search engines use this type of information to index your page. You can view
+ this information from the browser window by opening the View menu and
+ choosing Page Info. Tip: If you enter the Author name in
+ Composer's preferences, then
+ you won't have to enter it each time you create a new page. [Return to beginning of section] You can change the background color or specify a background
+ image for the page you're currently working on. These choices
+ affect the way text and links in your page appear to people viewing
+ the page through a browser. To set the colors and background for the current page, begin
+ from the Composer window: Note: Background images are tiled and override
+ background color selections. Using relative URLs allows you to keep all your linked files in
+ the same place relative to each other, regardless of their location
+ on your hard disk or a web server. Deselecting this option causes Composer to convert the URL to a
+ full (absolute) URL. You typically use absolute URLs when linking
+ to images on other web servers (not stored locally on your hard
+ disk). If you have unsaved changes, you must first save the page in
+ order to enable this checkbox. Note: To apply additional attributes or JavaScript events,
+ click Advanced Edit to display the
+ Advanced Property
+ Editor. You can also set the default page
+ background and colors for every new page you create in Composer. [Return to beginning of section] To create a link within the same page, for example a link that the reader
+ can use to jump from one section to another, you must create an
+ anchor (target location), and then create a link that points to the
+ anchor. Anchors are also called named anchors. To create an anchor,
+ follow these steps: To create the link on which readers can click to jump to the object: Note: To test the link you just created, open the File
+ menu and choose Browse Page, then click the link. Tip: If you did not first create named anchors, you can
+ use the Link dialog box to create links to headings that already occur in
+ the page. [Return to beginning of
+ section] You can create links from your page to local pages on your own computer or
+ on your workplace's network, or to remote pages on the Internet. Tip: It's best to first save or publish your page
+ before you create links to other pages. This allows Composer to automatically
+ use relative references for links once you create them. To create a link to another page: Deselecting this option causes Composer to convert the URL to a full
+ (absolute) URL. You typically use absolute URLs when linking to pages
+ on other web servers (not stored locally on your hard disk). If you have unsaved changes, you must first save the page in order
+ to enable this checkbox. (This checkbox is not available if you open
+ the Link Properties dialog box in a message compose window.) Tip: You can copy a link quickly by clicking and dragging
+ the link from another window and then dropping it onto your page. For
+ example, you can click and drag a link from a web page, bookmark, or Mail
+ window and drop it onto your page. You can also right-click
+ or, if you have a one-button mouse, Ctrl-click a link on a
+ web page and choose Copy Link Location from the menu. Then you can paste the
+ link location into the Link Location field in the Link Properties dialog
+ box. [Return to beginning of
+ section] You can make images, such as JPEG, GIF, or PNG files, behave like links in
+ your pages. When the reader clicks a linked image, the browser window
+ displays the page that the image is linked to. To make an image behaving like a link: Tip: Drag and drop a linked image from the browser window
+ into a Composer window to copy both the image and the link. Note: To remove the blue border that can appear around
+ images used as links: [Return to beginning of

+ but no one else can. Composer lets you publish your pages to a remote
+ computer called a web server. When you publish your pages to a web server, Composer copies (uploads) your
+ pages to a computer that lets others browse your pages. Most ISPs provide
+ space on their web servers for web page publishing. To find a web server
+ where you can publish your pages, ask your ISP, help desk, or system
+ administrator. Tip: It's best to first save or publish your page
+ before you insert links or images into it. This allows Composer to
+ automatically use relative references for links and images once you insert
+ them. To publish a document: If you have published this document before, Composer remembers the
+ document's publishing settings and starts publishing the document.
+ While publishing is in progress, Composer displays a publishing status
+ dialog box. When you publish a document for the first time, Composer changes the
+ document's file:/// URL to an http:// URL to indicate
+ that you are now editing the published document. If you want to save the
+ document locally (on your computer's hard disk), click the Save button.
+ You'll be prompted to choose a filename and location on your hard disk
+ for the document. [Return to beginning of

+ of the document you want to update by entering the document's HTTP
+ address (the document's web address) in the browser's
+ Location Bar. Tip: To delete a page or image you've published on a
+ web server, you must use an FTP (File Transfer
+ Protocol) program. You also must use an FTP program if you want to create
+ subdirectories or to rename files on the web server. Ask your service
+ provider if they recommend a particular FTP program. You can usually find
+ information on FTP programs in the Help or Support sections of your service
+ provider's website. FTP programs are also available from shareware sites
+ such as ZDNet Downloads. [Return to beginning of

+ section] If you plan to publish documents to more than one remote location, you can
+ set up Composer to save the publishing information for each remote site you
+ use, so that you don't have to enter it each time you want to
+ publish. To create a new publishing site, begin from a Composer window: For example, if you will use the new site to publish documents
+ related to the The publishing address specifies the location where documents are
+ published (uploaded) at this site. If you are not sure what to enter,
+ ask your ISP or system administrator. This URL must always begin with http://. In some cases,
+ this URL is the same as the publishing address. If you are not sure
+ what to enter, ask your ISP or system administrator, or else leave
+ it blank. [Return to beginning of
+ section] If you have set up more than one publishing site, but you typically use
+ only one site for most of your publishing needs, you can designate the site
+ you use most often as the default publishing site. Composer will use the
+ default publishing site for all documents that you publish, unless you
+ specifically choose an alternate site. Regardless of how many sites you've set up, you can always publish a
+ document to a different site by choosing Publish As from Composer's
+ File menu. See
+ Changing the Filename
+ or Publishing Location for more information. To choose the default publishing site, begin from a Composer
+ window: If you only have one publishing site set up, Composer uses that
+ one as the default site. [Return to beginning of
+ section] Deleting a publishing site removes the site's settings from Composer.
+ If you later wish to publish to the site, you must re-enter the site's
+ settings. To delete a publishing site's settings, begin from a Composer
+ window: Composer only removes the site's settings; the remote site itself
+ is not affected. [Return to beginning of
+ section] If one or more of your files fail to publish, the Publishing
+ Status dialog box displays an error message that can help you
+ determine what went wrong and how to fix it. If you are still unable to publish a file, save the file to your
+ hard disk by opening Composer's File menu, and choosing Save. You
+ can then open the file at a later time to try to publish it. To
+ quickly locate the file later, open Composer's File menu, and
+ choose Recent Pages. To verify your publishing settings: For the publishing address to be correct, you must precede the
+ publishing location with either ftp:// or http://.
+ For example, the correct publishing address for the above-mentioned
+ site would be ftp://ftp.myisp.com/username. Examine the names of any files that failed to publish. Make sure that the
+ filenames: When you publish files to a web server, filenames become
+ case-sensitive on the web server. It may be harder for you to remember
+ files names that use only uppercase letters or that use a mix of
+ uppercase and lowercase letters. For example, when you try to locate a published file by typing the
+ filename's web address into the browser's Location Bar, you
+ must enter the filename exactly as you created it, using the same
+ combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. If one or more of your files fails to publish, look at the messages
+ Composer displays in the Publishing Status area of the Publishing dialog box.
+ You can use these error messages to help determine what went wrong and what
+ to do to fix the problem. Error Messages: X of Y files failed to
+ publish. The filename filename is

+ Each web page has its own tab across the top of a single browser window.
+ Each tab appears on the Tab Bar. For example, you can visit mozilla.org,
+ icq.com, and cnn.com within one window instead of three windows. You don't need to have several windows open to visit several web pages;
+ thus, freeing up more space on your desktop. Instead, you can open, close,
+ and reload web pages conveniently in one place without having to switch to
+ another window. [Return to beginning of section] There are several ways to customize Tabbed Browsing. For example, you can
+ change your preferences to open new browser tabs from the Location Bar. You
+ can set up Tabbed Browsing in other ways too, such as loading new browser
+ tabs in the background so the first page is kept on top while the second page
+ is loading. To learn more about setting up Tabbed Browsing in

+ choosing. You can then edit it and treat it as you would any HTML file. Your &brandShortName; bookmarks are not altered by this procedure. You can also import bookmarks from other sources. For example, you can
+ import bookmarks from earlier &brandShortName; versions, other browsers, or
+ from bookmarks files that your friends send you. Before you start, make sure that the bookmarks file you want to import is an
+ HTML file. The imported bookmarks are added to the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu
+ folder. Note: Importing a bookmarks file imports the bookmarks and
+ folders from that file. It does not create two bookmarks files. [Return to beginning of section] One of the most exciting ways to customize &brandShortName; is through the
+ addition of Add-ons. In this section, you will learn what Add-ons are, how
+ to install them, and how to use the Add-ons Manager. An Add-on is a piece of software that can be added to &brandShortName; to
+ change its appearance, behavior, or to add new features. It can also change
+ the language shown in the user interface. Add-ons can be classified in four
+ types: Note: Language packs only change the user interface
+ language. Web pages, messages, newsgroup and news & blog posts will
+ still be shown in the original language in which they were written. Add-ons always come as packages. Each Add-on is a single file with the XPI
+ extension, except in the case of plugins which usually are binaries specific
+ to the target operating system. [Return to beginning of section] There are a number of ways to install Add-ons: Notes: [Return to beginning of section] The Add-ons Manager enables you to install and uninstall Add-ons, enable and
+ disable them and, in some cases, set preferences for them. To access the Add-ons Manager, follow any
+ of these steps: The Add-ons Manager opens either in its own dialog window or in a browser
+ tab. You can modify this behavior in the Tabbed Browsing
+ preference settings. After accessing the Add-ons
+ Manager, you can search all available Mozilla Add-ons directly from
+ the Add-ons Manager and install them as desired: [Return to beginning of section] The Add-on Converter
+ has been created to convert Firefox and Thunderbird extensions for use in
+ &brandShortName;. You can try to convert any extension by uploading it from
+ your computer or by pasting the download URL from
+ addons.thunderbird.net (AMO)
+ into the appropriate input line on the Add-on Converter start page. If you
+ are an expert user, you can make adjustments in the Advanced Options area.
+ Not all Firefox and Thunderbird extensions will work in &brandShortName;.
+ Most extensions will install successfully, but some may not work properly once
+ installed. The
+ compatibility list will help you to anticipate how well a converted
+ extension will work. The easiest way to use the Add-on Converter is to install the
+
+ AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey extension, which will overlay additional
+ information and links onto the Add-on pages at addons.thunderbird.net. If
+ the Add-on is not already compatible with &brandShortName;, a link will be
+ added to the Add-on Converter, which will select appropriate conversion
+ parameters automatically. [Return to beginning of section] The Get Add-ons panel in the Add-ons Manager uses web services provided by
+ the Mozilla Add-ons website to present a list of recommended Add-ons, as
+ well as giving you the option to browse the available Mozilla Add-ons. After
+ accessing the Add-ons Manager,
+ click the Get Add-ons button to show the Get Add-ons panel: Note: If you disallowed websites to install add-ons
+ and updates in the Software
+ Installation preferences panel, you will be prompted to enable
+ that function before anything else happens. This is not a

+ disallow installations and updates in the future. Note: Personalized Add-on recommendations require a list of
+ your currently installed Add-ons to be sent to the Mozilla Add-ons website.
+ If you have privacy concerns, this function can be switched off in the
+ Software
+ Installation preferences panel. [Return to beginning of section] The Extensions panel in the Add-ons Manager lists the installed extensions.
+ After accessing the Add-ons
+ Manager, click the Extensions button to show the Extensions panel. There,
+ you can perform the following actions: Note: Disabled extensions will appear greyed out.
+ Incompatible extensions will appear greyed out, since they are also
+ disabled, and with a forbidden sign over the extension icon (incompatible
+ extensions are those which define themselves as not compatible for the
+ version of &brandShortName; you are using). Note: If the extension does not feature a preferences
+ panel, the Options button will be hidden. You can't access
+ preferences of disabled or incompatible extensions. [Return to beginning of section] The Appearance panel in the Add-ons Manager lists the installed themes. After
+ accessing the Add-ons Manager,
+ click the Appearance button to show the Appearance panel. There, you can

+ Location Bar. [Return to beginning of
+ section] &brandShortName; periodically saves your browsing session (open windows
+ and tabs, including form data) to disk. When you start &brandShortName; with
+ Session Restore enabled, the windows and tabs from your previous session
+ will be restored. This is especially useful if your previous browsing session
+ ended unexpectedly (e.g. your computer crashed or a website you visited forced
+ &brandShortName; to terminate). &brandShortName; will automatically restore
+ the previous session if "Restore Previous Session" under "Display on Browser
+ Startup" has been selected. If you chose to not be warned when you close a

+ servers: IMAP and POP. If you are not sure which server type your Internet
+ service provider supports, ask your service provider. If your Internet
+ service provider supports both, the following descriptions may help you
+ choose which one to use. [Return to beginning of
+ section] Advantages: Your messages and any changes to them stay on
+ your server, saving local disk space. Also, you always have access to an
+ updated mailbox, and you can get your mail from multiple locations.
+ Performance on a modem is faster, since you initially download message
+ headers only. Disadvantages: Not all ISPs support IMAP. [Return to beginning of
+ section] Advantages: Your messages are downloaded to your local
+ computer all at once, but you can also specify whether to keep copies of the
+ messages on the server and delete messages on the server when they are
+ deleted locally. Most ISPs currently support POP. Disadvantages: If you use more than one computer, messages
+ might reside on one or the other, but not both. POP doesn't work as well
+ as IMAP over a slow link connection. Also, you can't access all mail
+ folders from multiple locations. Note that more recent POP servers have features that allow retrieving only
+ the headers instead of the full message, like IMAP allows. Using these
+ features allows performance with POP to be nearly as fast as with IMAP. [Return to beginning of
+ section] If you are not already viewing the IMAP server settings, begin from the Mail
+ window: In most cases, advanced IMAP server settings are automatically supplied by
+ the server. If you are unsure about the settings for this dialog box,
+ contact your ISP or system administrator. If you are not already viewing the advanced IMAP server settings, begin

+ storing copies of outgoing messages, for storing draft messages and message
+ templates, and where to move archived messages. By default, &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups stores copies of your
+ outgoing messages in the Sent folder for the current account.
+ &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups also stores draft messages in the
+ Drafts folder, message templates in the Templates folder, and moves archived
+ messages into the Archives folder for the current account. If you are not already viewing the settings for Copies & Folders, begin

+ and how a signature you defined is included. If you are not already viewing the Composition settings, begin from the Mail
+ window: Tip: If you only want to use an editor occasionally,
+ you can hold down the Shift key while clicking the Compose or the Reply
+ button to switch to the non-default on an as-needed basis. You use Addressing settings to override the global LDAP server settings
+ specified for all address books in
+ the Preferences dialog box. LDAP server settings affect the behavior of
+ address
+ autocompletion, and you can change these settings for each account if
+ necessary. Address autocompletion uses your address books to find matching entries when
+ you type email addresses in the addressing area of the Compose window. If you are not already viewing the Addressing settings, begin from the Mail

+ Settings is to select two certificates: Depending on the policies of the
+ certificate authority (CA)
+ that issues your certificate(s), you can use one certificate for both
+ purposes or two different certificates. Even if you use just one, you must
+ specify it twice, once for digital signing and once for encryption. The certificates you select here are included with every signed message you
+ send. These certificates allow your recipients to verify your digital
+ signature and to encrypt messages that they send to you. You use the Digital Signing area in the Security

+ saves any messages that you send while working offline. Messages you send
+ while working offline are saved in the Unsent Messages folder under Local
+ Folders. Any folders you create under the Local Folders account reside on
+ your hard disk, so Local Folders is a good place to save messages that you
+ want to keep. If you are not already viewing the Local Folders settings, begin from the

+ typically send mail to, such as colleagues, friends, and family.
+ &brandShortName; Mail & Newsgroups provides you with two address books:
+ the Personal Address Book and the Collected Addresses—and you can
+ create additional address books as well. You can also import address books
+ from other mail programs and previous versions of &brandShortName;. The
+ contents of these address books are stored locally on your hard disk. Your address book may also list email addresses from an LDAP directory,
+ which is located on an LDAP directory server. The directory server stores
+ email addresses of people that are not included in your locally-stored
+ address books. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an
+ industry-standard method for accessing Internet or intranet directory
+ services such as corporate address books. Use the Personal Address Book to add specific names of your choice. You can
+ create mailing lists and edit individual address entries. By default, the Collected Addresses automatically collects the email
+ addresses contained in outgoing mail messages. Addresses from outgoing
+ messages are stored in the Collected Addresses as soon as you click Send. An LDAP directory (also known as an address lookup service) stores email
+ addresses of recipients who are not in your locally-stored address books.
+ LDAP directories offer you access to large, centrally maintained databases
+ of email addresses, which is especially useful with
+ address
+ autocompletion. Automatic address collection is enabled by default. To change automatic

+ which claims to come from an official-looking address. You can also end up
+ at these pages by following links that you find on the Web or in IM
+ messages. Tip: Since a forged URL
+ can look very similar to a genuine one, it's safer to use a bookmark

+ signature to it. A digital
+ signature allows recipients of the message to verify that the message
+ really comes from you and hasn't been tampered with since you sent
+ it. When you compose a mail message, you can also choose to encrypt it.
+ Encryption makes it very difficult
+ for anyone other than the intended recipient to read the message while it is
+ in transit over the Internet. Signing and encryption are not available for newsgroup messages. Before you can sign or encrypt a message, you must take these preliminary
+ steps: Once you have completed these steps, you can complete the instructions in
+ Signing & Encrypting a
+ New Message. The sections that follow provide a brief overview of how digital signatures
+ and encryption work. For more technical details on this subject, see the
+ online document
+ Introduction
+ to Public-Key Cryptography. A digital signature is a special code, unique to each message, created by
+ means of public-key
+ cryptography. A digital signature is completely different from a handwritten signature,
+ although it can sometimes be used for similar legal purposes, such as signing
+ a contract. To create a digital signature for an email message that you are sending, you
+ need two things: Your certificate is a bit like your name and phone number in the
+ phonebook—it is public information that helps other people
+ communicate with you. Your private key for a signing certificate is protected by your
+ Master Password, and the
+ &brandShortName; program does not disclose it to anyone else. The Mail
+ & Newsgroup software uses your private key to create a unique,
+ verifiable digital signature for every message you choose to sign. To encrypt an email message, you must have an
+ encryption certificate
+ for each of the message's recipients. The public key in each certificate
+ is used to encrypt the message for that recipient. If you don't have a certificate for even a single recipient, the
+ message cannot be encrypted. The recipient's software uses the recipient's private key, which
+ remains on that person's computer, to decrypt the message. [Return to beginning of
+ section] Every time you send a digitally signed message, your encryption certificate
+ is automatically included with the message. Therefore, one of the easiest
+ ways to obtain someone else's certificate is for that person to send you
+ a digitally signed message. When you receive such a message, the person's certificate is
+ automatically stored by the Certificate
+ Manager, which is the part of the browser that keeps track of
+ certificates. This is useful because you need to have a certificate for each
+ recipient of any email message that you want to send in encrypted form. Another way to obtain certificates is to look them up in a public directory,
+ such as the It's also possible to look up certificates automatically. This feature
+ is controlled by
+ Mail &
+ Newsgroups Preferences - Addressing or
+ Mail & Newsgroups
+ Account Settings - Addressing, which can be configured to look up
+ recipients' email addresses in a directory. When you are using any account that is configured to look up addresses in a
+ directory, the same directory will be searched for matching certificates when
+ you attempt to send an encrypted message to one or more recipients for whom
+ you don't have certificates on file. The directory will also be searched for missing certificates when you open
+ the drop-down menu below the Security icon in the Compose window and choose
+ View Security Info. [Return to beginning of
+ section] Once you have obtained an email certificate (or certificates), you must
+ specify the certificates you want to use for signing and encrypting
+ messages. For information about obtaining email certificates, see
+ Getting Your
+ Own Certificate. To specify which signing and encryption certificates to use with a
+ particular account, begin from the Mail window: A dialog box appears that allows you to select from among your available
+ signing certificates. In some cases you may be able to specify the same certificate under
+ Encryption that you specified under Digital Signing; check with your system
+ administrator to find out for sure. Optionally, you can also indicate that you normally want to sign or encrypt
+ all messages sent from a particular account. These account-specific settings
+ are for convenience only; you can override the default settings for
+ individual messages. To configure your default signing and encryption settings, start from the
+ Security panel for the account (described above) and select your settings as
+ follows: When you have finished configuring your mail security settings, click OK to
+ confirm them. [Return to beginning of

+ character coding, or charset). The text 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,

+ hardware device that stores sensitive information associated with your
+ identity, such as keys or certificates. For example, the browser has a built-in Software Security Device, and you
+ can also use external security devices, such as smart cards, if your computer
+ is configured to use them. The master password for the browser's built-in Software Security Device
+ also protects stored sensitive information such as email passwords, website
+ passwords, and other data stored by the Password Manager. Each security device, whether it is software or hardware, has its own
+ separate Master Password. If you use Password Manager to save passwords and personal data, this
+ sensitive information is stored on your computer in a file that's
+ difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read. This way of storing
+ information is sometimes described as For improved protection, you may choose to protect the file with encryption.
+ Encryption makes it more difficult (but again, not impossible) for an
+ unauthorized person to view your stored sensitive information. To turn on
+ encryption you need to set a master
+ password. Using encryption versus obscuring for stored sensitive data is a tradeoff
+ between improved security and convenience: For more details, see
+ Encrypting
+ Stored Sensitive Information. This section describes how to use the Password Manager dialog box to control
+ your stored passwords. If you are not already viewing it, follow these
+ steps: Alternatively, open the Tools menu, choose Password Manager, and then choose

+ is stored in encrypted form, By default, stored passwords are not displayed. If you remove an entry from the list, the stored user name and password
+ will be discarded, and you will need to log in manually the next time you

+ your user name and password manually when you log onto the website. If you remove an entry from this list, Password Manager will again ask
+ you, the next time you log onto the website, whether to store your user
+ name and password. Regardless of which tab you are viewing, you can remove entries from the
+ list as follows: For more information about the Password Manager, see Using the Password
+ Manager. You must remember your old master password to change it with the Change
+ Password button. This section describes the Change Master Password dialog box. If you're

+ hardware device that stores sensitive information associated with your
+ identity, such as keys or certificates. For example, the browser has a built-in Software Security Device, and you
+ can also use external security devices, such as smart cards, if your computer
+ is configured to use them. The master password for the browser's built-in Software Security Device
+ also protects your master key. Your master key is used to encrypt sensitive
+ information such as email passwords, website passwords, and other data stored
+ by the Password Manager. You use the Change Master Password dialog box to provide the following
+ information: If someone uses your computer who knows or can guess your master password,
+ that person may be able to access websites while pretending to be you. This
+ can be dangerous—for example, if you manage your financial accounts
+ over the Internet. Therefore, it's important to select a master password that's
+ difficult to guess. The password quality meter gives you a
+ rough idea of the quality of your password as you type it based on factors
+ such as length and the use of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers,
+ and symbols. It does not guarantee, however, that no one will be able to
+ guess your password. For further guidelines, see Choosing
+ a Good Password. It's also important to record your master password in a safe
+ place—and not anywhere that's easily accessible
+ to someone else. If you forget this password, you may not be able to access
+ important information, such as websites that require passwords or
+ certificates stored on your computer. Warning: If you reset your master password, you will
+ permanently erase all the encrypted web and email passwords, saved on your
+ behalf by Password Manager. You will also lose all your personal certificates
+ associated with the
+ Software Security Device. To change your master password rather than resetting it, click the Change
+ Password button in the Passwords preferences panel. This section describes the Reset Master Password dialog box. If you're
+ not already viewing it, follow these steps: Warning: If you reset your master password, you will
+ permanently erase all encrypted web and email passwords, saved on your behalf
+ by Password Manager You will also lose all your personal certificates
+ associated with the
+ software security
+ device. If you remember your master password and decide to change it, you can do so
+ without danger of losing any personal information. If you are viewing the
+ Reset Master Password alert and you decide you want to change your password
+ rather than resetting it, click Cancel to return to the Passwords
+ preferences panel, then click Change Password. For details, see
+ Change Master Password. Resetting your master password is a last resort that you should use only if
+ you are absolutely sure you've forgotten it. The seriousness of the
+ situation depends on how much personal data your forgotten master password
+ protects. Resetting your master password does not create a new password. Instead, it
+ removes all the data your old master password protects. You will be asked to
+ specify a new master password the next time the browser needs to store
+ personal information. After you reset your master password, you may also want to re-save personal
+ information that you want to have prefilled in the future. For example, as
+ you browse you may want Password Manager to save website and email passwords
+ again. In addition, any personal certificates associated with the software
+ security device will be permanently erased and you will need to apply for new
+ ones. Note for smart card users: Each smart card has its own
+ master password. The master password for a smart card protects only the data
+ on that smart card (such as personal certificates). You can normally change
+ the master password for a smart card (assuming that you remember it), but you
+ cannot reset it. Choosing a good password will help in keeping your personal information
+ safe and private. To improve the security of your password, follow some
+ or all of these suggestions: You should avoid personal information that could be guessed. So the
+ following common items should be avoided: A good way to choose a secure but easily remembered password is to use the
+ first character of each word in a phrase. For instance, To further protect your personal data, you are advised to follow these

+ Internet. It also describes several things you can do to help safeguard your
+ own privacy. It is not intended to provide a complete description of Internet
+ privacy issues. When your browser displays a web page—for example, each time you click
+ a link or type a URL, or when a web page is displayed in an email
+ message—it gives certain kinds of information to the website. This
+ information may include (but is not limited to) your operating environment,
+ your Internet address, and the page you're coming from. The website is told something about your operating environment, such as your
+ browser type and operating system. This helps the website present the page in
+ the best way for your screen. For example, the website might learn that you
+ use &brandShortName; 2.19 on a Windows 7 computer. Your browser must tell the website your Internet address (also known as the
+ Internet Protocol, or IP address) so the website knows where to send the page
+ you are requesting. The website can't present the page you want to see
+ unless it knows your IP address. Your IP address can be either temporary or fixed (static). If you connect to the Internet through a standard modem that's attached
+ to your phone line, then your Internet service provider (ISP) may assign you
+ a temporary IP address each time you log on. You use the temporary IP address
+ for the duration of your Internet session—for example, until you sign
+ off or hang up your dial-up connection, or otherwise end your computer's
+ live connection with the Internet. Each ISP has many IP addresses, and they
+ assign the addresses at random to users. If you have DSL, a cable modem, or a fiber-optic connection, you may have a
+ fixed IP address that you use every time you connect. Your IP address is not the same as your email address. The website is also told which page you were reading when you clicked a link
+ to see one of the website's pages. This allows the website to know which
+ website referred you. Or, as you traverse the website, it allows the website
+ to know which of its pages you came from. [Return to beginning of section] A cookie is a small bit of information used by some websites. When you
+ visit a website that uses cookies, the website might ask your browser to place
+ one or more cookies on your hard disk. Later, when you return to the website, your browser sends back the cookies
+ that belong to the website. When you are using the default cookie settings, this activity is invisible
+ to you, and you won't know when a website is setting a cookie or when
+ your browser is sending a website's cookie back. However, you can set
+ your preferences so that you will be asked before a cookie is set. For
+ information on how to do this, see
+ Privacy & Security Preferences -
+ Cookies. Cookies allow a website to know something about your previous visits. For
+ example, if you typically search for local weather or purchase books at a
+ website, the website may use cookies to remember what city you live in or what
+ authors you like, so it can make your next visit easier and more useful. Some websites publish privacy policies that describe how they use the
+ information they gather. If your browser stores a website's cookie, it will return the cookie
+ only to that particular website. Your browser will not provide one website
+ with cookies set by another. Since a website can only receive its own cookies,
+ it can learn about your activities while you are at that website but not your
+ activities in general while surfing the Web. But sometimes a website displays content that is hosted on another website.
+ That content can be anything from an image to text or an advertisement.
+ The other website that hosts such elements also has the ability to store a
+ cookie in your browser, even though you don't visit the website directly.
+ Cookies that are stored by a website other than the one you are visiting are
+ called third-party cookies or foreign
+ cookies. Websites sometimes use third-party cookies with
+ transparent GIFs, which are special images that help websites
+ count users, track email responses, learn more about how visitors use the
+ website, or customize your browsing experience. (Transparent GIFs are also
+ known as web beacons or web bugs.) If you want, you can adjust your
+ cookie preferences so that websites can store ordinary cookies but not
+ third-party ones, or only for those sites that you have previously visited.
+ [Return to beginning of section] Websites are frequently interested in how they are used and by whom.
+ Thus, they may perform analytics on your browsing behavior, either by
+ themselves, or by utilizing a third-party service. Motivations for such user tracking may be a more personalized browsing
+ experience, e.g., by offering you services or products corresponding to your
+ previous browsing pattern, thus making it more likely that you are interested
+ in those. Third-party services are mostly interested in placing advertisements
+ that match your interests, thus making it more likely that you would click on
+ those ads, which in turn generates revenue. Of course, this list isn't all inclusive, other reasons may exist to
+ track the user's browsing behavior. To summarize, the trade-off is: There isn't any single tracking mechanism, rather several methods
+ exist. For example, a website may employ one or more of these methods: In general, there is no complete protection against unwanted tracking of
+ one's browsing activities. However, there are a couple of ways to make
+ it harder to get tracked: Note: The issues related to user tracking are complex.

+ plus sign must be pressed at the same time. Abbreviations: Note: Some keyboard shortcuts perform different functions
+ based on cursor location (focus). For example, if you press Home on Windows
+ while viewing a web page, &brandShortName; will move to the top of the web
+ page. However, if you press Home on Windows while the cursor is in a text
+ field, the cursor will go to the beginning of the text field. The following are keyboard commands for navigating and modifying text in a

+ not already viewing the panel, follow these steps: The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
+ and its successor, the Transport Layer Security
+ (TLS) protocol, are standards which define rules governing mutual
+ authentication between a website and browser software and the encryption
+ of information that flows between them. They are also used for secure
+ communication in various other protocols, e.g., for protection of sensitive
+ information exchanged with email, calendar, or directory servers. The SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 protocols are insecure and thus deprecated. The
+ current TLS protocol is based on SSL but with its own version numbering.
+ TLS 1.0 can be thought of as SSL 3.1, TLS 1.1 is in turn an update to TLS
+ 1.0, etc. Newer protocols are preferred over older ones as they provide
+ better security and more features. Older protocols are supported to ensure
+ compatibility. By default, &brandShortName; will select the most secure version which is
+ widely supported to connect to the server. If that attempt doesn't
+ succeed, it will try to connect with the next older version, etc., to the
+ extent allowed by the settings in this panel. The connection will fail if no
+ protocol supported by both sides is found. You can exclude older versions
+ explicitly or allow newer versions which may not be widely supported yet
+ with the following options: Notes: It's easy to tell when the website you are viewing is using an encrypted
+ connection. If the connection is encrypted, the lock icon in the lower-right
+ corner of the browser window is locked
+ (). If the
+ connection is not encrypted, the lock icon is unlocked
+ (). Encrypted
+ pages which contain some unencrypted items (mixed content) are shown with a
+ broken-lock icon
+ (). If you want additional warnings, you can select one or more of the warning
+ checkboxes in the SSL/TLS preferences panel. Unless stated otherwise, a
+ notification bar will be presented at the top of the page triggering the
+ alert, with an option to enter this panel to change the option if the alert
+ is considered annoying. To activate any of these warnings, select the corresponding checkbox: Note: Submitting a form from an encrypted to an
+ unencrypted page will always prompt a dialog prior to opening the page,
+ regardless of this setting. In general, there are two major issues related to transmitting sensitive
+ information over an unencrypted connection: One is the danger of someone
+ eavesdropping on the line, thus listening to the content transmitted; the
+ other of someone intercepting requests for the desired page and replacing
+ the legitimate content of that page with own (potentially malicious)

+ documents: A certificate is the digital equivalent of an ID card. Just as you may have
+ several ID cards for different purposes, such as a driver's license, an
+ employee ID card, or a credit card, you can have several different
+ certificates that identify you for different purposes. This section describes how to perform operations related to
+ certificates. Much like a credit card or a driver's license, a certificate is a form
+ of identification you can use to identify yourself over the Internet and
+ other networks. Like other commonly used personal IDs, a certificate is
+ typically issued by an organization with recognized authority to issue such
+ identification. An organization that issues certificates is called a
+ certificate authority (CA). You can obtain certificates that identify you from public CAs, from system
+ administrators or special CAs within your organization, or from websites
+ offering specialized services that require a means of identification more
+ reliable that your name and password. Just as the requirements for a driver's license vary depending on the
+ type of vehicle you want to drive, the requirements for obtaining a
+ certificate vary depending on what you want to use it for. In some cases
+ getting a certificate may be as easy as going to a website, entering some
+ personal information, and automatically downloading the certificate into your
+ browser. In other cases you may have to go through more complicated
+ procedures. You can obtain a certificate today by visiting the URL for a certificate
+ authority and following the on-screen instructions. For a list of certificate
+ authorities issuing certificates recognized by &brandShortName;, see the
+ online document
+ Included
+ Certificate List. Once you obtain a certificate, it is automatically stored in a
+ security device. Your browser
+ comes with its own built-in Software Security Device. A security device can
+ also be a piece of hardware, such as a smart card. Like a driver's license or a credit card, a certificate is a valuable
+ form of identification that can be abused if it falls into the wrong hands.
+ Once you've obtained a certificate that identifies you, you should
+ protect it in two ways: by backing it up and by setting your
+ master password. When you first obtain a certificate, you may be prompted to back it up. If
+ you haven't yet created a master password, you will be asked to create
+ one. For detailed information about backing up a certificate and setting your
+ master password, see Your
+ Certificates. [Return to beginning of section] When you're viewing any web page, the lock icon near the lower-right
+ corner of the window informs you whether the entire contents of the page was
+ protected by encryption while it was
+ being received by your computer: For more details about the encryption status of the page when it was
+ received, click the lock icon (or open the View menu, choose Page Info, and
+ click the Security tab). The Security tab for Page Info provides two kinds of information: Important: The lock icon describes only the encryption
+ status of the page while it was being received by your computer. To be
+ notified when you send or receive information without encryption, or to
+ block potentially harmful mixed content, select the appropriate SSL/TLS
+ warning and mixed content options. See Privacy &
+ Security Preferences - SSL/TLS for details. [Return to beginning of section] You can use the Certificate Manager to manage the certificates you have
+ available. Certificates may be stored on your computer's hard disk or on
+ smart cards or other security devices
+ attached to your computer. To open the Certificate Manager: When you first open the Certificate Manager, you'll notice that it has
+ several tabs across the top of its window. The first tab is called Your
+ Certificates, and it displays the certificates your browser or mail client
+ has available that identify you. Your certificates are listed under the names
+ of the organizations that issued them. To perform an action on one or more certificates, click the entry for the
+ certificate (or CmdCtrl-click
+ to select more than one), then click one of the buttons at the bottom of the
+ Certificate Manager window. Each of these buttons brings up another window
+ that allows you to perform the action. Click the Help button in any window to
+ obtain more information about using that window. For more details on how to view and manage these certificates, see
+ Your Certificates. [Return to beginning of section] When you compose a mail message, you can choose to attach your digital
+ signature to it. A digital
+ signature allows recipients of the message to verify that the message
+ really comes from you and hasn't been tampered with since you sent
+ it. Every time you send a digitally signed message, your encryption certificate
+ is automatically included with the message. This certificate allows the
+ message recipients to send you encrypted messages. One of the easiest ways to obtain someone else's encryption certificate
+ is for that person to send you a digitally signed message. Certificate
+ Manager automatically stores other people's certificates whenever they
+ are received in this way. To view all the certificates identifying other people that are available to
+ the Certificate Manager, click the People tab at the top of the
+ Certificate Manager window. You can send encrypted messages to anyone for
+ whom a valid certificate is listed. Certificates are listed under the names
+ of the organizations that issued them. To perform an action on one or more certificates, click the entry for the
+ certificate (or CmdCtrl-click
+ to select more than one), then click one of the buttons at the bottom of the
+ Certificate Manager window. Each of these buttons brings up another window
+ that allows you to perform the action. Click the Help button in any window to
+ obtain more information about using that window. For more details on how to view and manage these certificates, see the
+ description of the Certificate Manager's
+ People tab. [Return to beginning of section] Some websites and mail servers use certificates to identify themselves.
+ Such identification is required before the server can encrypt information
+ transferred between it and your computer (or vice versa), so that no one
+ can read the data while in transit. If the URL for a website begins with https://, the website has a
+ certificate. If you visit such a website and its certificate was issued by a
+ CA that the Certificate Manager doesn't know about or doesn't
+ trust, you will be asked whether you want to accept the website's
+ certificate. When you accept a new website certificate, the Certificate
+ Manager adds it to its list of website certificates. To view all the website certificates available to your browser, click the
+ Servers tab at the top of the Certificate Manager window. To perform an action on one or more certificates, click the entry for the
+ certificate (or CmdCtrl-click
+ to select more than one), then click one of the buttons at the bottom of the
+ Certificate Manager window. Each of these buttons brings up another window
+ that allows you to perform the action. Click the Help button in any window to
+ obtain more information about using that window. For more details on how to view and manage these certificates, see the
+ description of the Certificate Manager's
+ Servers tab. [Return to beginning of section] Like other commonly used forms of ID, a certificate is issued by an
+ organization with recognized authority to issue such identification. An
+ organization that issues certificates is called a
+ certificate authority
+ (CA). A certificate that identifies a CA is called a CA certificate. Certificate Manager typically has many CA certificates on file. These CA
+ certificates permit Certificate Manager to recognize and work with
+ certificates issued by the corresponding CAs. However, the presence of a CA
+ certificate in this list does not guarantee that the certificates it
+ issues can be trusted. You or your system administrator must make decisions
+ about what kinds of certificates to trust depending on your security
+ needs. To view all the CA certificates available to your browser, click the
+ Authorities tab at the top of the Certificate Manager window. To perform an action on one or more CA certificates, click the entry for the
+ certificate (or CmdCtrl-click
+ to select more than one), then click one of the buttons at the bottom of the
+ Certificate Manager window. Each of these buttons brings up another window

+ that contains a microprocessor and is capable of storing information about
+ your identity (such as your private
+ keys and certificates) and
+ performing cryptographic operations. To use a smart card, you typically need to have a smart card reader (a piece
+ of hardware) attached to your computer, as well as software on your computer
+ that controls the reader. A smart card is just one kind of security device. A security device
+ (sometimes called a token) is a hardware or software device that provides
+ cryptographic services and stores information about your identity. Use the
+ Device Manager to work with smart cards and other security devices. The Device Manager displays a window that lists the available security
+ devices. You can use the Device Manager to manage any security devices,
+ including smart cards, that support the Public Key Cryptography Standard
+ (PKCS) #11. A PKCS #11 module (sometimes
+ called a security module) controls one or more security devices in much the
+ same way that a software driver controls an external device such as a printer
+ or modem. If you are installing a smart card, you must install the PKCS #11
+ module for the smart card on your computer as well as connecting the smart
+ card reader. By default, the Device Manager controls two internal PKCS #11 modules that
+ manage three security devices: [Return to
+ beginning of section] The Device Manager allows you to perform operations on security devices. To
+ open the Device Manager, follow these steps: The Device Manager lists each available PKCS #11 module in boldface, and the
+ security devices managed by each module below its name. When you select a security device, information about it appears in the
+ middle of the Device Manager window, and some of the buttons on the right
+ side of the window become available. For example, if you select the Software
+ Security Device, you can perform these actions: You can perform these actions on most security devices. However, you cannot
+ perform them on the Builtin Object Token or Generic Crypto Services, which
+ are special devices that must normally be available at all times. For more details, see Device
+ Manager. [Return to
+ beginning of section] If you want to use a smart card or other external security device, you must
+ first install the module software on your computer and, if necessary, connect
+ any associated hardware. Follow the instructions that come with the
+ hardware. After a new module is installed on your computer, follow these steps to load
+ it: The new module will then show up in the list of modules with the name you
+ assigned to it. To unload a PKCS #11 module, select its name and click Unload. [Return to
+ beginning of section] Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) 140-1 is a
+ US government standard for implementations of cryptographic
+ modules—that is, hardware or software that encrypts and decrypts data
+ or performs other cryptographic operations (such as creating or verifying
+ digital signatures). Many products sold to the US government must comply with
+ one or more of the FIPS standards. To enable FIPS mode for the browser, you use the Device Manager: To disable FIPS-mode, click Disable FIPS. [Return to
+ beginning of section] The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol allows your computer to exchange
+ information with other computers on the Internet in encrypted form—that
+ is, the information is scrambled while in transit so that no one else can
+ make sense of it. SSL is also used to identify computers on the Internet by
+ means of certificates. The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is a new standard based on SSL.
+ The old SSL versions have been deprecated for security reasons and TLS is the
+ only supported protocol. The default set of enabled TLS versions works for
+ most people with current servers. However, in some circumstances system
+ administrators or other knowledgeable persons may wish to adjust the SSL/TLS
+ settings to fine-tune them for special security needs or to account for
+ limited capabilities of some legacy servers. You shouldn't adjust the SSL/TLS settings for your browser unless you
+ know what you're doing or have the assistance of someone else who does.
+ If you do need to adjust them for some reason, follow these steps: For more details, see SSL/TLS Settings. [Return to beginning of section] As discussed above under Get Your
+ Own Certificate, a certificate is a form of identification, much like a
+ driver's license, that you can use to identify yourself over the
+ Internet and other networks. However, also like a driver's license, a
+ certificate may expire or become invalid for some other reason. Therefore,
+ your browser software needs to confirm the validity of any given certificate
+ in some way before trusting it for identification purposes. This section describes how Certificate Manager validates certificates and
+ how to control that process. To understand the process, you should have some
+ familiarity with public-key
+ cryptography. If you are not familiar with the use of certificates, you
+ should check with your system administrator before attempting to change any
+ of your browser's certificate validation settings. Whenever you use or view a certificate stored by Certificate Manager, it
+ takes several steps to verify the certificate. At a minimum, it confirms that
+ the CA's digital signature on the certificate was created by a CA whose
+ own certificate is (1) present in the Certificate Manager's list of
+ available CA certificates and (2) marked as trusted for issuing the kind of
+ certificate being verified. If the CA certificate is not itself present, the
+ certificate chain for the CA
+ certificate must include a higher-level CA certificate that is present and
+ correctly trusted. Certificate Manager also confirms that the certificate
+ being verified is currently marked as trusted in the certificate store. If
+ any one of these checks fails, Certificate Manager marks the certificate as
+ unverified and won't recognize the identity it certifies. A certificate can pass all these tests and still be compromised in some way;
+ for example, the certificate may be revoked because an unauthorized person
+ has gained access to the certificate's private key. A compromised
+ certificate can allow an unauthorized person (or website) to pretend to be
+ the certificate owner. One way to combat this threat would be for Certificate Manager to check a
+ previously downloaded certificate revocation list (CRL) as part of the
+ verification process. However, those lists may be large and need to be
+ updated frequently in order to remain current and thus useful. The preferred way to combat the threat of compromised certificates is to use
+ a special server that supports the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP).
+ Such a server can answer client queries about individual certificates (see
+ Configuring OCSP, below). The server, called an OCSP responder, receives an updated CRL periodically
+ from the CA that issues the certificates to be verified. You can configure
+ Certificate Manager to submit a status request for a certificate to the OCSP
+ responder, and the OCSP responder confirms whether the certificate is
+ valid. [Return to beginning of section] The settings that control OCSP are part of Certificates preferences. To view
+ Certificates preferences, follow these steps: For information about the OCSP options available, see
+ Privacy & Security Preferences -
+ Certificates, OCSP. [Return to beginning of section] A cookie is a small amount of information on your computer that is used by

+ Manager. If you're not already viewing it, follow these steps: The Cookie Websites tab of the Cookie Manager lists the websites for which
+ your decisions have been remembered, and what your decisions were. It also
+ allows you to add and remove websites from the list. To add cookies websites manually: To remove a cookie website: Once you've removed a website from this list, Cookie Manager remembers
+ nothing about it. Many websites require you to type a user name and password before you can
+ enter the website. For instance, personalized pages and websites containing
+ your financial information usually require you to log in. The user name and password you use at a particular website can be read by the
+ site's administrator. Potentially, that person could then attempt to log
+ into other websites where you may have used the same user name and password.
+ If this concerns you, you may wish to use a different password at every
+ website with which you register. Password Manager can help you remember some or all of your names and
+ passwords by storing them on your computer's hard disk, and entering
+ them for you automatically when you visit such websites. When Password Manager is active (as it is by default), it gives you an
+ opportunity to save user names and passwords on your hard drive that you
+ enter while using the Internet. For example, after you log onto a website from a page that requests a user
+ name and password, a dialog box appears asking, Similarly, when you log onto an email account or an FTP site, or perform any
+ other action that requires the browser itself to display a special dialog box
+ for your login information, you can select this option in the dialog box: The next time you check your email or perform other tasks that require a
+ password only, the password will be submitted directly without any further
+ action on your part. For tasks that require you to enter both a user name and
+ password, you need to click a Login button or equivalent after Password
+ Manager fills in the information. Password Manager saves your user names and passwords on your own computer in
+ a file that's difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read.
+ See Encrypting Stored
+ Sensitive Information for information on protecting your stored user
+ names and passwords with encryption technology. If the Password Manager dialog box described above does not appear when you
+ click Submit after typing your user name and password, Password Manager may
+ be turned off or the website may disallow its use. To check whether Password Manager is currently active, see
+ Turning Password Manager On
+ and Off. [Return to beginning of
+ section] There are two different ways that Password Manager can fill in user names
+ and passwords on your behalf: The next time you visit the website, Password Manager automatically fills
+ in your user name and password on the website's log in page. You can
+ then click the Login button, or equivalent, to send the information to
+ the server. In most cases, the next time you attempt to access that server, Password
+ Manager automatically fills in your user name and password in the same
+ dialog box. You can then click OK to send the information to the

refers to a web page which itself is

+ which is not encrypted. Consequently, this part of the page is
+ still subject to the vulnerabilities of an unencrypted line. While there

+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Type
+ Explanation
+
+
+ Browsing History
+ If enabled in the
+ History preferences,
+ a history of any website pages you have visited is kept and
+ may be suggested to complete website addresses in the location bar.
+
+
+ Location Bar History
+ This is a history of web addresses which were entered
+ manually or copy-pasted into the location bar of the browser. This
+ list is available in the location bar menu.
+
+
+ Download History
+ Depending on the options selected in the
+ Downloads
+ preferences, a history of files downloaded from
+ websites is maintained in the Download Manager.
+
+
+ Saved Form and Search History
+ If enabled in the
+ History preferences,
+ text entered into elements of forms (e.g., user names, but not
+ passwords) will be stored for the specified number of days; matches are
+ suggested in a list when you revisit that page. If you put the search
+ box onto your toolbar, the history of search terms will be
+ stored as well.
+
+
+ Cache
+ The cache is a short-term store for web pages and other
+ data (like e-mail attachments for IMAP accounts or remote images in
+ messages) to avoid having these items being requested again from the
+ server if they were just recently accessed. The cache on your disk
+ may contain data up to the limit specified in the
+ Cache preferences.
+
+
+ Cookies
+ Cookies are small pieces of information that websites use to
+ keep track of users and sessions, or to store website preferences. Use
+ the Cookies preferences to
+ specify to what extent cookies are permitted and for how long they are
+ kept.
+
+
+ Offline Website Data
+ Websites may be permitted to store their pages' contents and
+ related data locally so that they are available for use without
+ a network connection. See the
+ Offline Apps
+ preferences for options to control this behavior and to inspect
+ the contents of stored offline website data.
+
+
+ Saved Passwords
+ If enabled in the
+ Passwords preferences,
+ &brandShortName; keeps entered passwords for later use, thus
+ you don't have to retype them every time you visit a website.
+
+
+ Authenticated Sessions
+ Websites may require authentication (username and password,
+ asked for with a pop-up dialog) and can keep track of such by
+ authenticated sessions. A site will ask you for your credentials
+ again when you proceed to the next page after this information is
+ cleared.
+
+
+
+Site Preferences
+ Site preferences are locally stored preferences for the specific
+ website. These usually are the individual zoom level and the last
+ location of a downloaded file from this site on your local disk.

[Return to beginning of section]
+ +There may be occasions where you don't want &brandShortName; to keep + track of your browsing activities. For example, when someone else quickly + wants to use your computer and you don't want your current browsing + context disturbed; or, for confidential tasks such as online banking.
+ +Opening a private window starts a + private browsing session + in which no private data on the sites + and pages you visit are made available beyond the scope and duration of that + session. Each subsequently opened private window becomes part of the same + private session. It ends when the last private window is closed.
+ +Private windows are not entirely isolated from non-private windows; private + browsing just implies that &brandShortName; will not keep any local record + of your activities in such a window. Some private data may be shared between + private but not non-private windows and vice versa, others accessed in a + read-only mode from a private window.
+ +Note that Add-ons like plugins + and extensions may not be subjected to these policies and may change their + settings or modify their locally kept data even in a private window.
+ +A browser window can be either in regular (non-private) or in private + browsing mode. It is not possible to switch a non-private browser window + into private mode, but you can open a new private window in two ways:
+ +Open + Link in Private Windowfrom the menu. The new private window will open, + showing the page referred to by the selected link.
Any number of private and non-private windows can be open at the same time, + but be aware in this case for which windows history information is kept.
+ +[Return to beginning of + section]
+ +A private window behaves differently than a non-private window in the way + it handles private data (see Types of + Private Data for detailed information of the individual categories). + Specifically, after closing a private session when closing the last private + window, no information related to that session will be retained in + &brandShortName;. Private data gathered in one private session won't + be available to any future private session either.
+ +To determine whether or not a window is in private browsing mode, have a
+ look at its title bar. Private windows show
+ - &brandShortName; Private Browsing
+ rather than just - &brandShortName;
+ at the end of the window's title.
[Return to beginning of + section]
+ +There is no special function or command to leave the private mode, + and it is not possible to continue working in non-private mode with + a private window.
+ +To end a private browsing session, just close all private windows. + There will be no record on &brandShortName;'s side on any browsing + activities performed in any of the associated private windows.
+ +[Return to beginning of + section]
+ +If you use Password Manager to save passwords, then this sensitive + information is stored on your computer in a file that's difficult, but + not impossible, for an intruder to read.
+ +For example, if your computer is in an area where unauthorized people have + access to it, it's possible for a determined person to read the file + containing your sensitive information.
+ +For a greater degree of security, you may want to protect the file with + encryption. Encryption makes it much harder for an unauthorized person to + view your stored sensitive information.
+ +Your decision about whether to use encryption for stored sensitive data is a + tradeoff between improved security and convenience.
+ +If you use encryption, you will need to enter a master password, which can + be inconvenient. If you don't, it may be easier for a stranger who has + access to your computer to steal your passwords.
+ +To enable encryption of passwords you need to set a master password. If + your master password has not previously been set, you can set it at this + time:
+ +Make sure your new password is difficult to guess. For some suggestions on + how to improve password security, see + Choosing a Good + Password.
+ +[Return to beginning of + section]
+ +To change your master password:
+ +Make sure your new password is difficult to guess. For some guidelines, see + Choosing a Good + Password.
+ +[Return to beginning of + section]
+ +Normally, you are asked for your master password once during each + &brandShortName; session during which you access any of your stored sensitive + information.
+ +You can log out of your master password so that it must be entered again + before any sensitive information can be stored or retrieved. This is useful + if you are going to leave your computer unattended for a period of time.
+ +To log out of your master password:
+ +[Return to beginning of + section]
+ +If you forget your master password, you won't be able to access any of + the stored password it protects. Your master password is your most important + password. Make sure you remember it or record it in a safe place.
+ +As a last resort, it's possible to reset your master password if you + are sure you can't remember it. However, resetting your master password + permanently erases all the web and email passwords, saved on your behalf by + Password Manager. You will also lose all your personal certificates + associated with the + Software Security + Device.
+ +Before taking this drastic step, read + Reset Master + Password.
+ +If you are sure you can't remember or retrieve your master password, + follow these instructions to reset it:
