<h2>What is the Sidebar?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Sidebar is a customizable frame in your browser where you can keep items that you need to use all the time---the latest news and weather, your address book or buddy list, stock quotes, a calendar---and many other options you can choose. The Sidebar presents these items to you in tabs that are continually updated.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Mozilla comes with some Sidebar tabs already set up, but you can customize the Sidebar by adding, removing, and rearranging tabs.</p>

<h2>Changing the Default Fonts</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Normally, web pages are displayed in the default font set by your browser, or in a font chosen by the web pages' authors.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To change the default fonts:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
|
<li>Under the Appearance category, choose Fonts. (If no options are visible
|
|
in this category, click to expand the list.)
|
|
<li>From the "Fonts for" pop-up menu, choose a character set. For instance,
|
|
to set default fonts for the Western (roman) character set, choose "Western."
|
|
<li>Select whether proportional text should be serif or sans-serif. You can
|
|
also specify what font size you want for proportional text. You can select
|
|
either Serif (like Times Roman) or Sans-serif (like Ariel).
|
|
<li>If the appropropriate font is available for your language character set,
|
|
select fonts for Serif, Sans-Serif, Cursive, Fantasy, and Monospace. You can
|
|
also specify what font size you want for monospace text.
|
|
<li>Specify whether the default font should be serif or sans serif.
|
|
<li>Select a fixed width font and size. Certain types of text, such as equations
|
|
and formulas, are displayed in a fixed width font.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Many web page authors choose their own fonts and font sizes. To allow fonts
|
|
other then the ones specified in your preferences, check "Allow documents
|
|
to use other fonts.
|
|
<p>To adjust the readability of fonts, type a number for your preferred resolution
|
|
in the field next to "Display resolution." 96 dpi (dots per inch) is the standard
|
|
resolution, but you may want to choose a larger value.

<p>Most web page authors choose their own colors. You can override the authors'
|
|
intentions by selecting "Use my chosen colors, ignoring the colors specified."</p>

<h2>What Are Bookmarks?</h2>
|
|
<p>Bookmarks are shortcuts to your favorite and most-visited web pages. Rather
|
|
than typing in long URLs (web addresses), you can create bookmarks that take
|
|
you directly to the pages you want to see.
|
|
<p>You access your bookmarks through the bookmarks menu. You can control what's
|
|
listed in the bookmarks menu, by adding bookmarks for your favorite web pages
|
|
and organizing your list of bookmarks any way you want.</p>
|
|
<p> </p>
|

<h4>Handling New Bookmarks and Bookmarked Search Results.</h4>
|
|
<p>When you create a new bookmark, Mozilla normally adds it to the bottom of
|
|
your bookmarks list. If you prefer to file your bookmarks in a folder, you can
|
|
designate a new bookmarks folder.</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
|
|
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, select a folder to hold new bookmarks.
|
|
<li>Open the View menu and choose Set as New Bookmark Folder.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>If you use the Sidebar Search tab to locate web pages, you can save your
|
|
search results by clicking the Bookmark this Search button in the Search tab.
|
|
Saved search results are placed in their own folder at the bottom of the bookmarks
|
|
list. For instance, if you searched for "parrots," and then clicked Bookmark
|
|
this Search, a folder named "Search: parrots" would be added to your bookmarks
|
|
list. Each time you save search results, a new folder is added.</p>
|
|
<p>If you prefer to file all your saved search results in a single folder, you
|
|
can designate an Internet search folder.</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
|
|
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, select a folder to hold search results.
|
|
<li>Open the View menu and choose Set as New Internet Search Folder.
|
|
</ol>

<h2>Exporting or Importing a Bookmark List (Advanced Feature)</h2>
|
|
<p>Your bookmarks are stored in a file named bookmarks.html. You can export a
|
|
copy of this file and save it in a folder of your choosing. You can then edit
|
|
it and treat it as you would any HTML file.</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
|
|
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, open the File menu and choose Export Bookmarks.
|
|
<li>In the Export Bookmark File window, choose a folder. Your bookmarks.html
|
|
file will be copied into the folder you designate.
|
|
<li>Click Save.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Your Mozilla bookmarks are not altered by this procedure.
|
|
<p>You can also import bookmarks files from other sources, such as friends, earlier
|
|
<span class="netscape">Netscape</span> versions, or other browsers.
|
|
<p>Before you start, make sure that the bookmark file you want to import is an
|
|
HTML file.
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the Bookmarks menu and choose Manage Bookmarks.
|
|
<li>In the Manage Bookmarks window, open the File menu and choose Import Bookmarks.
|
|
<li>In the Import Bookmark File window, locate and select the bookmark file
|
|
you want to import.
|
|
<li>Click Save.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>The imported bookmark file is treated as new bookmarks, and added to the bottom
|
|
of your bookmarks list. If you have designated a new bookmark folder, the imported
|
|
bookmark file is added to that folder.
|
|
<p><b>Note</b>: Importing a bookmark file imports the bookmarks and folders from
|
|
that file. It does not create two bookmark files.
|
|
<p>You can use any bookmarks file as your <b>default</b> Mozilla bookmarks,
|
|
as long as it is an HTML file and is named "bookmarks.html."
|
|
<p>Before you begin, close all Mozilla windows and exit from Mozilla.
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Go to the directory that contains Mozilla on your computer, and find
|
|
the Users subdirectory.
|
|
<li>In the Users subdirectory, open the directory for your current profile.
|
|
<li>In the directory for your profile, find the current bookmarks.html file
|
|
and rename it. (For instance, rename it "bookmarks.old.")
|
|
<li>Put the new bookmarks.html file in the directory containing your profile.
|
|
This replaces the file you just renamed.
|
|
<li>Restart Mozilla. Your new bookmarks file will be used as the default
|
|
bookmarks.
