Abstract

With features like tabbed browsing, pop-up window blocking, and download and image management, Firefox combines the latest browsing and security technologies with an easy to use interface. Using tabs you can view more than one Web page in a single window. You can suppress annoying advertisements and disable images for faster browsing. Firefox's easy access to different search engines helps you find the information you need.
Start Firefox from the main menu or by entering the command firefox. The main program features are described in the following sections.
Firefox has much the same look and feel as other browsers. It is shown in Figure 12.1, “The Browser Window of Firefox”. The navigation toolbar includes and and a location bar for a Web address. Bookmarks are also available for quick access. For more information about the various Firefox features, use the menu.
If you often use more than one Web page at a time, tabbed browsing makes it easier to switch between the pages. It allows you to load Web sites in separate tabs within one window.

You can create a new tab, reload one or all existing tabs, or close them. You can also change the sequence of the tabs by dragging and dropping them on a requested position.
