Sådan navigerer du mellem Internetsider
Sådan kommer du til din startside
Når du starter Firefox kommer du til din startside. Indtil du ændrer det, vil du starte på Firefox' hjemmeside.
Tips:

 Hvis du vælger Fuldskærms-visning, får du vist mere af Internetsiden på din skærm. I Fuldskærms-visning bliver Firefox' værktøjslinjer skrumpet sammen til en enkelt smal linje. For at slå Fuldskærmsvisning til skal du vælge:

Vis > Fuldskærm eller taste F11.

 To go to your home page quickly, press AltOpt+Home.

Sådan kommer du til andre sider
Du kommer til en Internetside ved at skrive sidens Internetadresse (også kaldet sidens URL) ind i adressefeltet. En URL begynder normalt med "http://" efterfulgt af et eller flere navne, der bestemmer adressen. Et eksempel er "http://www.mozilla.org/"



 Klik på adressefeltet for at vælge den URL, der står der.
 Skriv URL på den side, som du vil besøge. Din URL skrives oven i det, der stod i adressefeltet i forvejen.
 Tast EnterReturn.

Tip: For hurtigt at vælge adressefeltets URL, tast CtrlCmd+L.
Kender du ikke en sides URL? Prøv at skrive noget specifikt om den side, du vil besøge, fx et navn i adressefeltet og tast EnterReturn. Dette bringer dig til den side, som Google ville vælge for det ord. Se også Searching.

 

Sådan klikker du på et link
De fleste Internetsider indeholder links, som du kan klikke på for at komme til andre sider.

 Flyt musemarkøren (pilen) indtil den bliver til en pegende hånd. Det viser, at musen peger på et link. Mange links er vist ved understreget skrift, men også knapper eller billeder kan være links.
 Klik en enkelt gang på linket. Mens siden findes frem kan du se en statusmeddelelse i bunden af vinduet.


 

Følg dine skridt baglæns
Man kan finde tilbage til tidligere besøgte sider på flere forskellige måder:

 For at gå en side tilbage eller frem, klik på knappen med Tilbage eller Fremad.
 For at gå flere sider tilbage eller frem, klik på de små trekanter ved knapperne med Tilbage og Fremad. Du vil så se en liste med de sider, du sidst besøgte; klik på en side fra listen for at komme til den side.
 For at se en liste med de URL, som du har skrevet i adressefeltet skal du klikke på nedad-pilen i adressefeltets højre ende. Klik på en sides URL for at komme til den.
 For at vælge fra sider, som du har besøgt i siden du sidst startede Firefox, kan du åbne Historikmenuen og se en liste nederst i menuen.
 

For at vælge sider, du har besøgt inden for adskillige sessioner tilbage i tiden, åbn Historik menuen og vælg Vis historik. Arkivvinduet viser en liste af mapper. Ved at klikke på en mappe vises undermapper eller titler på hjemmesider. Klik på en sides titel for at få vist denne side.



Stopping and reloading
If a page is loading too slowly or you no longer wish to view a page, click the Stop button.
To reload the current page or to get the most up-to-date version, click the Reload button or press  Ctrl Cmd+ R.

 

Tabbed browsing
When you visit more than one web page at a time, you can use Tabbed Browsing to navigate the Web faster and easier.
Tabbed browsing lets you open several web pages within a single Firefox window, each displaying in its own tab. This frees up space on your desktop since you don't have to have a window open for  every web page you're currently visiting. You can open, close, and reload web pages conveniently in one place without having to switch to another window.
For more info, see Brug faneblade til at organisere mange websteder i et enkelt vindue.

 

Using the Sidebar
The Sidebar is an area on the left side of the screen that you can use for viewing bookmarks or history. Extensions may add new ways to use the Sidebar as well.
To view an item in the Sidebar, select View > Sidebar. From there you can select the Sidebar tab you want.



Searching
Searching the web
Searching for web pages on a particular topic is as easy as typing a few words into Firefox's Search Bar.
For example, if you want to find information about the world cup:

 Click in the Search Bar.
 Type the phrase  world cup. Your typing replaces any text currently in the search bar.
 Hit EnterReturn to search.

Search results for "world cup" appear in the Firefox window.

 

Selecting search engine
You can switch the search engine by clicking on its icon and selecting the search engine of your choice. Some search engines, like Google, search the whole web; others, like Amazon.com, only search specific sites.

 

Manage search engines
Click on the icon of the search engine and select Manage Search Engines... to add, reorder, remove, or restore the default search engines. Select a search engine and click the appropriate button to to move it around within the list or remove it. You can install new search engines by clicking the Get more search engines… link.

 

Searching the web for words selected in a web page
Firefox allows you to search the web for words you select within a web page:

 Select (highlight) any words in a web page.
 Right-clickPress Ctrl, click the mouse button, and choose Search [[Search Engine] for "[[your selected words]" from the pop-up menu.

Firefox opens a new tab and uses the currently selected Search Engine to search for your selected words.

 

Searching within a page
To find text within the page you are currently viewing in Firefox:

 Press CtrlCmd+F or select Edit > Find to open the Find Toolbar at the bottom of Firefox.
 Type the text you want to find. The search automatically begins as soon as you type something into the search box.
 The Find Toolbar offers the following choices: 

 Next: find text in the page that is below the current cursor position.
 Previous: find text that is above the current cursor position.
 Highlight all: highlight occurrences of your search string in the current page.
 Match case: limit the search to text that has the same capitalization as your search string.


To find the same word or phrase again, press F3 or select Edit > Find Again.
Tip: In Tools > OptionsEdit > PreferencesFirefox > Preferences, select the Advanced panel, click the General tab, and enable the Search for text when I start typing optionpreference to enable the Quick Find mode of the Find Toolbar. When enabled, the Quick Find toolbar automatically opens and starts searching as soon as you type something. Unlike the Find Toolbar, the Quick Find toolbar will close automatically after a few seconds of inactivity.



Copying, saving, and printing pages
Copying part of a page

Improving speed and efficiency
Managing different file types
Firefox can handle many types of files. However, for some files such as movies or music, Firefox needs Plugins or external applications that can handle those files. If Firefox doesn't have the needed Plugin or doesn't know what application to use to open the file, it can still save the file to your hard disk. When saving files, you can keep track of them using the Download Manager.
Plugins extend Firefox's functionality and run within it. Plugins like Sun Java, Adobe Flash, and RealNetworks RealPlayer allow Firefox to show multimedia files and run small applications such as movies, animations, and games. You can find common Plugins on the Plugins page at Mozilla Add-ons.
When files cannot be opened within Firefox, you can choose to open them with applications outside of Firefox. For example, you can use the media player of your choice to play MP3 files.
You can specify how Firefox handles files it can't display in the Applications panel. To open this panel, select Tools > OptionsEdit > PreferencesFirefox > Preferences, and click the Applications panel. You can change the action for a file type or remove it. More information about this dialog is available in Applications optionspreferences.
When you click on a file and Firefox doesn't know how to handle it, an Opening dialog box is displayed, offering these choices:

 Open with: Firefox opens the file using the default program in your system settings. You can also choose a different program by selecting Other… in the drop-down list.
 Save to Disk: Firefox allows you to select a location to save the file. If you have selected Save all files to (this folder) in the Main panel of OptionsPreferences, the file will automatically be saved to the default folder; otherwise Firefox will ask you where to save it.
 Do this automatically for files like this from now on: When this is selected, Firefox will automatically perform the selected action the next time you download a file of this type.

Tip: You can clear your saved optionspreferences for Do this automatically for files like this from now on in the Applications panel.

Making Firefox your default browser
Firefox displays web pages on the Internet and on your computer. To easily open web pages, you can make Firefox your default browser.
To make Firefox your default web browser, select Tools > OptionsEdit > PreferencesFirefox > Preferences and click the Check Now button in the Advanced panel.

 

Changing cache settings
Firefox stores copies of frequently accessed pages in the cache. By doing this Firefox doesn't have to retrieve the page from the network each time you view the web page.
To set the size of the cache:

 Select Tools > OptionsEdit > PreferencesFirefox > Preferences.
 Open the Advanced panel and click the Network tab.
 Enter a number in the Use up to field to specify the size of the cache. The default size is 50MB.

Important: A larger cache allows more data to be quickly retrieved, but more of your hard disk space is used.
When you quit Firefox, it performs cache maintenance. If maintenance takes longer than you wish, try reducing the size of the disk cache.
To reload a page at any time, click the Reload button in Firefox's Navigation Toolbar. Firefox then loads and displays the latest version of the page.
