||
|
|
you were inside a read-only editor.
|
||
|
|
You can use the keyboard to select web content and copy it to the
|
||
|
|
clipboard. You can enable this feature by selecting &pref.menuPath;,
|
||
|
|
opening the <em>General</em> tab in the <em>Advanced</em> panel,
|
||
|
|
and checking the <em>Always use the cursor keys to navigate within webpages
|
||
|
|
</em> &pref.singular;.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can press <kbd>F7</kbd> at any time to turn this feature on or
|
||
|
|
off. When you press <kbd>F7</kbd>, &brandShortName; will
|
||
|
|
ask if you really want to turn on this feature. You can disable

this prompt by selecting <em>Don't show this dialog again.</em></p>

|
||
|
|
<p><a href="prefs.xhtml#accessibility">Search for text when I start typing</a>
|
||
|
|
allows you to quickly navigate to text or hyperlinks in a web page. This
|
||
|
|
feature has two modes. Press <abbr title="forward slash"><kbd>/</kbd></abbr>
|
||
|
|
and start typing to search all text on the current page, or press
|
||
|
|
<abbr title="apostrophe"><kbd>'</kbd></abbr> before your string to search
|
||
|
|
hyperlinks only. &brandShortName; will highlight matching text or hyperlinks
|
||
|
|
as you type.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The following keyboard shortcuts control this feature:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Type more characters to narrow your search. &brandShortName;
|
||
|
|
will highlight the next matching hyperlink or text or alert you
|
||
|
|
that nothing matched.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press &accelKey;+<kbd>G</kbd> or <kbd>F3</kbd> to find the next
|

|
|
occurrence of your current search string.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press &accelKey;+&shiftKey;+<kbd>G</kbd> or &shiftKey;+<kbd>F3</kbd>
|
||
|
|
to find the previous occurrence of your current search string.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press <kbd>Backspace</kbd> to undo the last character you typed.
|
||
|
|
&brandShortName; will back up to the previously highlighted text.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press <kbd>Esc</kbd> to cancel a search. You can also cancel
|
||
|
|
a search by changing focus, scrolling the page with the mouse or
|
||
|
|
keyboard, or simply waiting for the timeout.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can change the default behavior of this feature by selecting
|
||
|
|
&pref.menuPath;, opening the <em>General</em> tab of the <em>Advanced</em>
|
||
|
|
panel, and checking the <em>Search for text when I start typing</em>
|
||
|
|
&pref.singular;. If this &pref.singular; is checked, you can start typing at any
|
||
|
|
time to auto-start an inline search. By default auto-started searches look
|
||
|
|
for all text on the page. You can still explicitly press
|
||
|
|
<abbr title="apostrophe"><kbd>'</kbd></abbr> or
|
||
|
|
<abbr title="forward slash"><kbd>/</kbd></abbr> to start finding
|
||
|
|
in one mode or the other.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use this feature to get to buttons, text boxes and other
|
||
|
|
form controls. Search for the text immediately before the form control
|
||
|
|
you want and press <kbd>Tab</kbd>. Pressing <kbd>Tab</kbd> automatically
|
||
|
|
exits the search and sets focus to the next form field or button
|

|
|
after the highlighted text.</p>

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Some web sites may display text in fonts that are difficult to read,
|
||
|
|
and other sites may rely on the browser's default fonts. You can set
|
||
|
|
your default fonts by going to &pref.menuPath;, selecting the
|
||
|
|
<em>Content</em> panel, and selecting a default font and size in the
|
||
|
|
<em>Fonts & Colors</em> section.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can specify default fonts for different styles, including serif,
|
||
|
|
sans-serif, and monospace by clicking the <em>Advanced</em> button.
|
||
|
|
However, many web pages specify their own fonts, so your choices
|
||
|
|
will have no effect on such pages. To override the fonts defined by
|
||
|
|
such pages, uncheck the <em>Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead
|
||
|
|
of my selections above</em> &pref.singular;.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that some web pages may display incorrectly depending on your
|
||
|
|
choice of a default font.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="setting_a_minimum_font_size">Setting a Minimum Font Size</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Some web sites may display text which is too small to read
|
||
|
|
comfortably. To make such pages easier to read, you can set a minimum
|
||
|
|
font size. On web pages that try to display text smaller than this
|
||
|
|
size, &brandShortName; will enlarge the text to your chosen size.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To set a minimum font size, go to &pref.menuPath;, select the
|
||
|
|
<em>Content</em> panel, and click the <em>Advanced</em> button in the
|
||
|
|
<em>Fonts & Colors</em> section. You can specify a minimum font
|
||
|
|
size from the dropdown menu.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that some web pages may display incorrectly depending on your
|
||
|
|
choice of a minimum font size.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="resizing_page_text">Resizing Page Text</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can temporarily change the size of text on any web page in the
|
||
|
|
<span class="menuPath">View > Text Size</span> menu. The new
|
||
|
|
size will remain in effect until you close your browser window or
|
||
|
|
tab, even if you navigate to a different web site.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The following keyboard shortcuts control text size:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press &accelKey;+<kbd><abbr title="plus">+</abbr></kbd> to
|
||
|
|
increase the text size. This zooms the text to 120% of its original
|
||
|
|
size, then 150%, 200%, 300%, 450%, 675%, 1013%, and 1519%.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press &accelKey;+<kbd><abbr title="minus">-</abbr></kbd> to
|
||
|
|
decrease the text size. This zooms the text to 90% of its original
|
||
|
|
size, then 50%, 33%, 22%, 15%, 10%, 7%, 4%, 3%, 2%, and 1%.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Press &accelKey;+<kbd>0</kbd> to reset the text size to the web
|
||
|
|
page's default size.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that some web pages may display incorrectly if you increase or
|
||
|
|
decrease the text size.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="overriding_page_colors">Overriding Page Colors</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Some web sites may display text and background colors that are
|
||
|
|
difficult to read, and other sites may rely on the browser's default
|
||
|
|
colors. You can set your default colors by going to &pref.menuPath;,
|
||
|
|
selecting the <em>Content</em> panel, and clicking the <em>Colors</em>
|
||
|
|
button in the <em>Fonts & Colors</em> section. You can set
|
||
|
|
default text and background colors, as well as default colors for
|
||
|
|
visited and unvisited hyperlinks. You can also specify whether
|
||
|
|
hyperlinks should be underlined.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>However, many web pages set their own colors, so your choices will
|
||
|
|
have no effect. To override the colors defined by web pages, uncheck
|
||
|
|
the <em>Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my
|
||
|
|
selections above</em> &pref.singular;.</p>

<h3 id="turning_off_java_applets">Turning Off Java Applets</h3>
|

|
|
|

|
|
<p>Some web pages provide a rich interactive experience with Java™
|
||
|
|
applets. However, some users that rely on keyboard navigation may
|
||
|
|
experience problems with some Java applets that automatically set
|
||
|
|
focus and do not provide a way to <q>break out</q> of the applet and
|
||
|
|
navigate to the rest of the web page. If this is a problem for you,
|
||
|
|
you can disable Java by going to &pref.menuPath;, selecting the
|
||
|
|
<em>Content</em> and unchecking the <em>Enable Java</em>
|
||
|
|
&pref.singular;.</p>

<h3 id="restricting_javascript_behavior">Restricting JavaScript Behavior</h3>
|

|

|
|
<p>You can turn off JavaScript entirely by going to &pref.menuPath;,
|
||
|
|
selecting the <em>Content</em> panel, and unchecking <em>Enable
|
||
|
|
JavaScript</em>. Some web pages rely on JavaScript and may not work
|
||
|
|
properly if JavaScript is disabled.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you do not wish to disable JavaScript entirely, there are also a
|
||
|
|
number of advanced JavaScript settings to restrict the behavior of
|
||
|
|
scripts. Immediately after the <em>Enable JavaScript</em> checkbox,
|
||
|
|
click the <em>Advanced</em> button to open the <em>Advanced JavaScript
|
||
|
|
Settings</em> window. You can control whether scripts are allowed
|
||
|
|
to move or resize existing windows, raise or lower windows, disable or
|
||
|
|
replace context menus, hide the status bar, or change status bar
|

text.</p>
