    -

    A character encoding method is the way a document or message has been converted -to data to be used by your computer. All web documents and mail and news messages -use a character encoding method (also known as a character set, character coding, or charset).

    -

    The character 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, -for examples, can be used for any language document.

    -

    Your version of Mozilla is set to a default character encoding appropriate -for your region. However, if you use more than one language, you may need to -select appropriate character encoding methods and designate the fonts you wish -to use for your language/script.

Others such as Chinese, Japanese, and Russian use different methods. + In contrast, Unicode provides language-independent encoding methods. UTF-8, + for examples, can be used for any language document.

    + +

    Your version of &brandShortName; is set to a default character encoding + appropriate for your region. However, if you use more than one language, you + may need to select appropriate character encoding methods and designate the + fonts you wish to use for your language/script.

    + +

    Managing Different File Types

    -

    Navigator can handle many types of files. However, for some files, such as -movies or music, Navigator needs plug-ins or "helper" applications that can handle -those files. If Mozilla doesn't have the needed helper application or plug-in, -it can still save the file to your hard disk. When saving files, you can keep -track of them using Download Manager.

    -

     

    -

    Plug-ins

    -

    Plug-ins are helper applications that extend the functionality within Navigator -and run within Mozilla. Plug-ins like Sun Java, Macromedia Flash, and RealNetworks -RealPlayer allow Mozilla to show multimedia files and run small applications, -such as movies, animations, and games.

    -

    When you installed Mozilla, you had the option of adding some of these most -popular plug-ins. You don't have to install them separately. However, you can -also install plug-ins after you install Mozilla. To see the plug-ins for Mozilla -that are currently installed, see the online web page, Mozilla -Plug-in Manager.

    Helper Applications

    -

    When files can not be used within Mozilla, you have to option to launch -helper applications that open outside of Mozilla. For example, to play MP3 files, -programs like Winamp can be opened outside of Mozilla.

    -

    The settings in the Helper Applications preferences panel tell Navigator which -helper applications to use on your computer. Usually, these preferences don't -need to be changed since they are preconfigured. Also, if Navigator doesn't know -which helper application to use, it allows you to find helper applications within -the download dialog box.

    Making Mozilla Your Default Browser

    -

    Note: This section discusses settings and features present only on -Windows.

    -

    Mozilla is best known for displaying web pages, both on the Internet and -on your computer. To easily open web pages, you can make Mozilla your default -browser.

    -

     

    -

    Common Internet Files and Protocols

    -

    Making Mozilla your default browser allows it to automatically open common -file formats and protocols used on the Internet. Common Internet file formats -and protocols include the following:

    -
      -
    • -

      Image Files:

      -
        -
      • -

        JPEG, GIF, PNG, and MNG

        -
        • -
      -
      • -
    • -

      Internet Document and Language Files:

      -
        -
      • -

        HTML, XHTML, - XML, and XUL

    -

    Changing Default Browser Settings Automatically

    -

    After installation is finished, Mozilla checks to see if it is the default -browser for any of the common Internet file formats or protocols. If it isn't, -you are asked, "Mozilla is not currently set as your default browser. Would -you like to make it your default browser?"

    -

    Click Yes to make Mozilla the default browser. If you click No, you will -be prompted with this question each time Mozilla starts, unless you deselect -the checkbox "Check at startup next time, too."

    -

    If you deselect the checkbox, "Check at startup next time, too," -you can still make Mozilla the default browser by changing your settings in -Preferences. To learn how to set Mozilla as the default browser through Mozilla -preferences, see Navigator -Preferences - Navigator.

    -

    Customizing Default Browser Settings

    -

    You can manually customize how Mozilla handles various file formats and protocols. -For more information, see Advanced -Preferences - System.

    Automatic Loading

    -

    When you bring a web page to your screen, Mozilla automatically loads (starts -up) several features that help interpret web pages. These features, Java and -JavaScript, can make web pages more lively, but they take time to load.

    -

    To learn how to turn off Java, see Advanced -Preferences - Advanced.

    -

    To learn how to turn off JavaScript, see Advanced -Preferences - Scripts & Windows.

    Changing Cache Settings

    -

    Your computer stores copies of frequently accessed pages in the cache. This - way, the computer doesn't have to retrieve the page from the network each - time you view it.

    -

    To set the size of the cache or to clear it:

      - -
    1. Open the Edit menu (Mozilla menu on Mac OS X) and choose Preferences. - -
    2. Under the Advanced category, click Cache. (If no subcategories are visible, -double-click Advanced to expand the list.) -
    3. Enter a number in the Cache field to specify the size of the cache. - 8000K on Windows is sufficient (5000K on Unix). To clear the cache immediately, - click Clear Cache. -
    -

    Important: A larger disk cache allows more pages to be quickly retrieved, - but more of your hard disk space is used.

    -

    When you quit Mozilla, it performs cache maintenance. If maintenance takes - longer than you wish, try reducing the size of the disk cache.

    -

    To specify how often Navigator checks the network for page revisions (so that - you don't keep "stale" pages in the cache too long):

    -
      - -
    1. Open the Edit menu (Mozilla menu on Mac OS X) and choose Preferences. - -
    2. Under the Advanced category, click Cache. (If no subcategories are visible, -double-click Advanced to expand the list.) -
    3. Choose from the following options: -
    -
      -
    • Every time I view the page: Select this if you want Mozilla to compare -a web page to the cache every time you view it.
      -
      • -
    • When the page is out of date: Select this if you want Mozilla to -compare a web page to the cache when the page is determined by the server to -have expired.
      -
      • -
    • Once per session: Select this if you want Mozilla to compare a web -page to the cache once for each time you start Mozilla.
      -
      • -
    • Never: Select this if you do not want Mozilla to compare cached information -to the network.
      -
      • -
    -

    If pages that should be in the cache are taking longer to appear than they - should, make sure the preference is not set to "Every time I view the page," - because the verification requires a network connection that takes time.

    -

    To refresh a page at any time:

    -
      -
    • Click the Reload button in the browser's Navigation Toolbar. The computer -checks the network to make sure you have the latest version of the page. -

    Using Quick Launch

    -

    Note: Quick Launch is available only on Windows versions of Mozilla.

    -

    Quick Launch shortens the time it takes for Mozilla to start. When Mozilla -uses Quick Launch, the Mozilla logo icon is present in the system tray (near the -clock).

    Setting Proxy Values

    -
    -

    This section explains how to work with proxies. -

    -

    Setting Proxy Values

    -

    Many organizations block access from the Internet to their networks. This prevents - outside parties from gaining access to sensitive information. The protection - is called a firewall.

    -

    If your organization has a firewall, the browser may need to go through a proxy - server before connecting you to the Internet. The proxy server prevents outsiders - from breaking into your organization's private network.

    -

    Before you start:

    -
      - -
    • If there's a proxy configuration file at your workplace, ask the system - administrator for its URL. - -
    • If there's no proxy configuration file, ask your system administrator for - the names and port numbers of the servers running proxy software for each - network service. -
    -

    To set the browser to work with the proxy:

    -
      -
    1. Open the Edit menu (Mozilla menu on Mac OS X) and choose Preferences.
      2. -
    2. Under the Advanced category, click Proxies. (If no subcategories are visible, -double-click the Navigator to expand the list.)
      3. -
    3. Select one of the following:
      4. -
        -
      • Direct connection to the Internet: Choose this if you don't want to -use a proxy.
        • -
      • Manual proxy configuration: Choose this if you don't have a proxy -location (URL).
        • -
          -
        • HTTP Proxy, SSL Proxy, FTP Proxy, Gopher Proxy: Type -the name or numeric IP address of the proxy server. Type the port in the Ports -field.
          • -
        • SOCKS Host: Type the name or numeric IP address of the proxy server. -Type the port in the Ports field.
          • -
            -
          • SOCKS v4, SOCKS v5: When entering a SOCK Host, select "SOCKS -v4" or "SOCKS v5," depending on what version of SOCKS is used -for the proxy.
            • -
          -
        -
          -
        • No Proxy for: Type the domains that you do not want to use a proxy -for. Separate each domain with a comma. (Example: .yourcompany.com, .yourcompany.co.nz)
          • -
        -
      • Automatic proxy configuration URL: Choose this if you have a proxy -configuration file or URL, then type the configuration URL.
        -
        • -
      +
        +
      1. Click New Type. You see the New type dialog box.
        2. +
      2. Type a description of the type of files the application works,with; + for instance, "movies" or "sound files."

        4. +
      4. Type the MIME type. MIME types consist of two words separated by + a slash. For instance, a TIFF image file's MIME type is + "image/tiff".
        + Note: When you download a file, &brandShortName; + will show you the MIME type on the download dialog box.
        5. +
      5. Click Choose, then select an application that handles files of this + type.
        6. +
      6. Click OK.
        7. +

    Making &brandShortName; Your + Default Browser

    + +

    Note: This section discusses settings and features present + only on Windows.

    + +

    &brandShortName; is best known for displaying web pages, both on the + Internet and on your computer. To easily open web pages, you can make + &brandShortName; your default browser.

    + +

    Common Internet Files and + Protocols

    + +

    Making &brandShortName; your default browser allows it to automatically open + common file formats and protocols used on the Internet. Common Internet file + formats and protocols include the following:

    + +
      +
    • Image Files: +
        +
      • JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP and ICO
        • +
      +
      • +
    • Internet Document and Language Files: +
        +
      • HTML, XHTML, + XML, and + XUL
        • +
      +
      • +
    • Internet Protocols: +
        +
      • HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, + Chrome, Gopher
        • +
      +
      • +
    + +

    Changing Default + Browser Settings Automatically

    + +

    After installation is finished, &brandShortName; checks to see if it is the + default browser for any of the common Internet file formats or protocols. If + it isn't, you are asked, "&brandShortName; is not currently set as + your default browser. Would you like to make it your default + browser?"

    + +

    Click Yes to make &brandShortName; the default browser. If you click No, you + will be prompted with this question each time &brandShortName; starts, unless + you deselect the checkbox "Check at startup next time, too."

    + +

    If you deselect the checkbox, "Check at startup next time, too," + you can still make &brandShortName; the default browser by changing your + settings in Preferences. To learn how to set &brandShortName; as the default + browser through &brandShortName; preferences, see + Navigator Preferences - + Navigator.

    + +

    Customizing Default Browser + Settings

    + +

    You can manually customize how &brandShortName; handles various file formats + and protocols. For more information, see + Advanced Preferences - + System.

    + +

    [Return to beginning of + section]

    + +

    Automatic Loading

    + +

    When you bring a web page to your screen, &brandShortName; automatically + loads (starts up) several features that help interpret web pages. These + features, Java and JavaScript, can make web pages more lively, but they take + time to load.

    + +

    To learn how to turn off Java, see + Advanced Preferences - + Advanced.

    + +

    To learn how to turn off JavaScript, see + Advanced + Preferences - Scripts & Plug-ins.

    + +

    Changing Cache Settings

    + +

    Your computer stores copies of frequently accessed pages in the cache. This + way, the computer doesn't have to retrieve the page from the network + each time you view it.

    + +

    To set the size of the cache or to clear it:

    + +
      +
    1. Open the Edit menu (&brandShortName; menu on Mac OS X) and choose + Preferences.
      2. +
    2. Under the Advanced category, click Cache. (If no subcategories are + visible, double-click Advanced to expand the list.)
      3. +
    3. Enter a number in the Cache field to specify the size of the cache. 8000K + on Windows is sufficient (5000K on Unix). To clear the cache immediately, + click Clear Cache.
      4. +
    + +

    Important: A larger disk cache allows more pages to be + quickly retrieved, but more of your hard disk space is used.

    + +

    When you quit &brandShortName;, it performs cache maintenance. If + maintenance takes longer than you wish, try reducing the size of the disk + cache.

    + +

    To specify how often Navigator checks the network for page revisions (so + that you don't keep "stale" pages in the cache too long):

    + +
      +
    1. Open the Edit menu (&brandShortName; menu on Mac OS X) and choose + Preferences.
      2. +
    2. Under the Advanced category, click Cache. (If no subcategories are + visible, double-click Advanced to expand the list.)
      3. +
    3. Choose from the following options: +
        +
      • Every time I view the page: Select this if you want + &brandShortName; to compare a web page to the cache every time you view + it.
        • +
      • When the page is out of date: Select this if you + want &brandShortName; to compare a web page to the cache when the page + is determined by the server to have expired.
        • +
      • Once per session: Select this if you want + &brandShortName; to compare a web page to the cache once for each time + you start &brandShortName;.
        • +
      • Never: Select this if you do not want + &brandShortName; to compare cached information to the network.
        • +
      +
      4. +
    + +

    If pages that should be in the cache are taking longer to appear than they + should, make sure the preference is not set to "Every time I view the + page," because the verification requires a network connection that takes + time.

    + +

    To refresh a page at any time:

    + +
      +
    • Click the Reload button in the browser's Navigation Toolbar. The + computer checks the network to make sure you have the latest version of the + page.
      • +
    + +

    + +

    Getting the Latest Software + Automatically

    + +

    &brandShortName; can notify you when updates for your software are + available, and it can install the updates automatically. &brandShortName; can + also inform you when a new version of &brandShortName; is available.

    Before you start:

    + +
      +
    • If there's a proxy configuration file at your workplace, ask the + system administrator for its URL.
      • +
    • If there's no proxy configuration file, ask your system + administrator for the names and port numbers of the servers running proxy + software for each network service.
      • +
    + +

    To set the browser to work with the proxy:

    + +
      +

      2. +
    2. Under the Advanced category, click Proxies. (If no subcategories are + visible, double-click the Navigator to expand the list.)
      3. +
    3. Select one of the following: +
        +
      • Direct connection to the Internet: Choose this if + you don't want to use a proxy.
        • +
      • Manual proxy configuration: Choose this if you + don't have a proxy location (URL). +
          +
        • HTTP Proxy, SSL Proxy, + FTP Proxy, Gopher Proxy: Type the + name or numeric IP address of the proxy server. Type the port in + the Ports field.
          • +
        • SOCKS Host: Type the name or numeric IP address + of the proxy server. Type the port in the Ports field. +
            +
          • SOCKS v4, SOCKS v5: When entering a SOCK + Host, select "SOCKS v4" or "SOCKS v5," + depending on what version of SOCKS is used for the proxy.
            • +
          +
          • +
        • No Proxy for: Type the domains that you do not + want to use a proxy for. Separate each domain with a comma. + (Example: .yourcompany.com, .yourcompany.co.nz)
          • +
        +
        • +
      • Automatic proxy configuration URL: Choose this if + you have a proxy configuration file or URL, then type the configuration + URL.
