<h2 id="toolbars">Toolbars</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This will tell you how to rearrange, hide, add, and remove toolbars in
|
|
&brandShortName;. For those who are unfamiliar with the terminology, a toolbar
|
|
is the (usually gray) box above the area that the web site is displayed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li class="noMac"><strong>Menu Bar</strong>: This is the toolbar that contains
|
|
the browser menus (File, Edit, Help, etc.).</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Navigation Bar</strong>: This is the toolbar that contains the
|
|
Location Bar and the buttons used to navigate web sites.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Bookmarks Toolbar</strong>: This is the toolbar that contains
|
|
your Bookmarks Toolbar Folder bookmarks.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are two basic methods of customizing the toolbars in
|
|
&brandShortName;:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="#rearranging_toolbar_items">Rearranging Toolbar Items</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="#adding_removing_toolbars">Hiding, Adding, and Removing
|
|
Toolbars</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="rearranging_toolbar_items">Rearranging Toolbar Items</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>To rearrange the items (icons, buttons, text boxes, etc.) on your toolbar,
|
|
<span class="noMac">right-click</span><span class="mac">press &ctrlKey; and
|
|
click</span> on any part of the toolbar that is not a text box and select
|
|
<span class="menuPath">Customize...</span>. This will bring up the toolbar
|
|
customization dialog.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Drag and drop any items you want to and from the toolbars <span class=
|
|
"noMac">(excluding the menu items)</span>. You can also rearrange icons
|
|
already on the toolbars by dragging and dropping them wherever you wish. When
|
|
the toolbars and items are arranged the way you want them, click
|
|
<em>Done</em>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="special_toolbar_items">Special Toolbar Items</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are a few special items that are available to you when customizing the
|
|
toolbar. They are as follows:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Separators:</strong> These allow you to separate items on the
|
|
toolbars with a small vertical line.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Spacers:</strong> These allow you to separate items on the
|
|
toolbars with a fixed-size space, usually around 20 pixels on most
|
|
themes.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Flexible spacers:</strong> Spacers allow you to separate items
|
|
on the toolbars with a space. These spacers automatically resize to fill
|
|
all of the empty space on the toolbar. These are good for positioning
|
|
items on the right of a toolbar.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="adding_removing_toolbars">Hiding, Adding, and Removing Toolbars</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can hide the Navigation Toolbar and the Bookmarks Toolbar if you do not
|
|
wish to keep them on your screen. <span class="noMac">You cannot hide the Menu
|
|
Bar because you cannot move the menu items (File, Edit, Help, etc.) to a
|
|
different toolbar, and they must stay on the screen at all times.</span></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To show or hide a toolbar, select <span class="menuPath">View > Toolbars</span>
|
|
and click the name of the toolbar you want to show or hide.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To add a custom toolbar, select <span class="menuPath">View > Toolbars
|
|
> Customize</span>. Click on <em>Add New Toolbar</em> (in the bottom of the
|
|
dialog). This will give you a dialog to enter a name. If you enter a name and
|
|
click <em>OK</em>, your new toolbar appears. Now you can drag and drop items
|
|
to it. To remove a custom toolbar, drag and drop all the items from it, and
|
|
click Done. You can also hide a custom toolbar as described in the previous
|
|
paragraph.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="add_ons">Add-ons (extensions and themes)</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Add-ons are small pieces of software which change or add to the appearance or
|
|
functionality of &brandShortName;. There are two kinds of add-ons: extensions
|
|
and themes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>Extensions</dt>
|
|
<dd>Extensions add new functionality to &brandShortName;. They can add
|
|
anything from a toolbar button to a completely new feature. They allow the
|
|
application to be customized to fit the personal needs of each user while
|
|
minimizing the size and appearance of the application itself.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Themes</dt>
|
|
<dd>Themes modify &brandShortName;'s appearance. They allow you to change the
|
|
look and feel of &brandShortName; and personalize it to your tastes. A
|
|
theme can simply change button images, or it can change every piece of
|
|
&brandShortName; appearance.</dd>
|
|

|
<h3 id="add_ons_installing">Getting and Installing Add-ons</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can download and install many add-ons from <a
|
|
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/" target="_blank">&brandShortName;
|
|
Add-ons</a>. Internet searches will find many other add-ons as well.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you click on a link to install an add-on, &brandShortName; displays a
|
|
dialog asking you for permission to install the add-on. You can choose to
|
|
allow the download and installation or to cancel the process.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="add_ons_manager">Using the Add-ons manager</h2>
|
|
<p>Add-ons are managed in the Add-ons manager. Select <span
|
|
class="menuPath">Tools > Add-ons</span> to open it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="add_ons_updating">Updating Add-ons</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>By default, &brandShortName; will periodically check when a new version for
|
|
one of your installed add-ons is available. If any are available, it will
|
|
prompt you at the next start to install any updates. You can change this
|
|
behavior in the <a href="prefs.xhtml#advanced_update"><em>Update</em> tab</a>
|
|
of the <em>Advanced</em> panel of &pref.pluralCaps;.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can check for updates manually by selecting the <em>Extensions</em> or
|
|
<em>Themes</em> panel and clicking the <em>Find Updates</em> button. If
|
|
updates are available, the Add-ons manager displays an <em>Updates</em>
|
|
panel, where you can choose the updates you want to install. Click the
|
|
<em>Install Updates</em> button to update those add-ons.
|
|
You need to restart &brandShortName; for changes to take effect.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="add_ons_uninstalling">Disabling, Enabling, and Uninstalling Add-ons</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want to get rid of an extension, you can either disable it temporarily,
|
|
so it is easily available should you want to enable it again in the future,
|
|
or uninstall it. Themes can only be uninstalled since all themes except the
|
|
current one are disabled automatically.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To disable or enable an extension, select the extension of your choice and
|
|
click its <em>Disable</em> or <em>Enable</em> button. To remove an add-on from
|
|
&brandShortName;, select the add-on you wish to remove and click its
|
|
<em>Uninstall</em> button. You need to restart &brandShortName; for changes to
|
|
take effect.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="add_ons_further">Further functionality</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Further functionality such as <em>Visit Home Page</em> and <em>About</em> is
|
|
available by selecting the add-on of your choice, <span class="mac">pressing
|
|
&ctrlKey; and clicking on</span><span class="noMac">right-clicking</span> the
|
|
add-on and selecting the respective item from the context menu.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="add_ons_specific">Tasks specific to extensions or themes</h3>
|
|
<h4 id="add_ons_configuring_extensions">Configuring Extensions</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Extensions often provide a dialog to configure their functionality. To open
|
|
the &pref.plural; dialog of an extension, select the Extensions panel, select
|
|
the extension of your choice, and click its <em>&pref.pluralCaps;</em> button,
|
|
or simply double-click the extension.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="add_ons_switching_themes">Switching Themes</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>To switch between your installed themes, select the Themes panel, select the
|
|
theme of your choice, and click its <em>Use Theme</em> button. You need to
|
|
restart &brandShortName; for changes to take effect.</p>
