Motzilla - How To Select Your Personal Settings

Motzilla is a mispelling of the Mozilla Browser. I don’t know really why people add a “T” in between the word.

Your personal setting in Firefox

One important task to take care of before surfing the Internet, is your personal settings. Click on Tools in the Toolbar; click Options in the Drop down menu. A screen will appear, click Main and leave the Startup box as it appears. Move down to Downloads and click the box Show the Downloads page, click on, “Save files to.” A Screen will appear listing your file names click on “C:/Documents and Settings…”, or browse and click on the place you want the borwser to deposit your future downloaded files. If you choose not to assign a place for downloaded files now, then in the future when you download a file, Firefox will ask you where to place the download. You can make the decision for each separate download. The program will not complete a download without asking you what to do with the file.

Go back to the top of the Firefox Options page, click on Tabs, a drop down menu will appear, Click on “a new tab.” This means each time you click on a website or a link it will open in a new tab, and will not open in the same tab, in which your present website link appears. If, you skip this step, the page you open from the website, will replace your website link in the first tab. If this happens, you have to go back and reopen the website. So, take this first step: Click Tabs under Options, and then click “a new tab” to avoid any problems with loosing a website.

Next, go back to the top of the Options page and click on Content. A new drop down menu appears so you can give the browser, rules to follow related to content. In this drop down menu, it is a good idea to check all four statements because keeping unnecessary information in your computer slows it down.

Under Fonts and Colors, it is not necessary to make changes other than for personal preference. To change these, click on each then make the change just as you would change them in Windows. The third section under Content is a description of File Types. It is a good idea to do nothing under File types, unless you are technically skilled in this area. To close this screen, click on OK at the bottom and then click Feeds at the top of the Options Screen.

On the Options screen click on Feeds, here you tell Mozilla Firefox whether or not, you want to have any of the live Feeds running on your computer. After going through the help link at the bottom of the Options page you will find that this feature will reduce greatly the number of emails you have to read on a daily basis.

Take advantage now of Mozillla, or “Motzilla” like many folks like to search on the Internet.
