• How to add an express panel in Mozilla. How to remove and how to return the Mozilla Firefox menu: step-by-step instructions

    The fourth version of the iconic browser Mozilla Firefox pleased both long-time fans and those who are just beginning their acquaintance with the “fire fox.”

    One of the interesting innovations was the “arranging” of the browser menu into a modest-looking button labeled “Firefox”. This simplicity, it should be noted, is deceptive. Because behind it lies a considerable arsenal of program management and configuration tools.

    In this lesson we will figure out what secrets this little orange rectangle hides...

    In fact, there are no secrets here. Click “Firefox” and see a small list of commands. You probably noticed that it is conditionally divided into two parts. Let's start with the larger, left side. This column in new version browser replaced the previously separate “File” and “Edit” menu items.

    What can we do here? Well, for example, by clicking on the item “ New tab”, we can create this very tab, a separate new window, or open the file we need in the browser.
    Just below is an interesting link with the intriguing title “Start private browsing”.

    The next item speaks for itself - it prints the page.

    An interesting subsection of the menu is entitled “Web Development”. It contains commands that help those Mozilla Firefox users who use the browser as a mechanism for creating Internet sites. With one click you can call up a convenient web console and error console, view source code pages, select the desired encoding, and also go to offline mode work.
    The following menu items switches the browser to full screen mode, and also include the “Sync” function, which serves to synchronize sessions. For example, you can synchronize all bookmarks and passwords for work on another computer, or transfer the entire session history to your mobile device.

    Let's move on to the right - or blue - column. The buttons located here are used to control functions related directly to viewing web pages. Here you can open the bookmarks control panel, view your visit log and list of downloads. Just below there is a subsection for managing add-ons, when you click on it, a whole page opens where you can select the desired extensions and plugins.

    But if you click on the “Settings” item, an expanded menu for managing browser settings will open. Simply hovering the cursor over this line allows you to see a whole list of menu commands that can be pinned in the browser by checking them. Well, the last button, as usual, calls up the help menu. Don't forget that this is where you need to come for information about your browser version and updates.
    To close the Firefox menu window, click on the Exit button.

    This is what he is - “Ognelis”, he managed to hide so many functions under one simple button at the top of the browser window. But it’s really more convenient, and you can’t argue with that. By the way, the developers have provided very useful function Briefly call up the traditional menu view. To do this, you just need to press the “Alt” button. It also turns off the display of the list of menu items.

    Mozilla Firevox is the most popular of all existing browsers among Internet users, it is very convenient and fast, but there is still one minor drawback.

    This browser does not contain Express Launcher as such, it only has top line bookmarks, but it’s not always convenient to use. I would still like to have a full-fledged express line.

    But this is no longer a huge problem, because thanks to various applications, some settings can be configured by almost any user of this web browser.

    Fast Dial

    The most popular plugin for installing express launch is Fast Dial. It looks like this. On home page Nine mini-windows appear with thumbnails of the pages that the user has previously selected.

    But if a browser user clicks on one of the windows, he will be taken not just to the site, but to a specific page that was set in the settings.

    Installing a new add-on

    So, let’s launch our web surfer, enter addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/ in the address bar (you can also simply in the settings Mozila Firefox find the line “Additions”). Next we see the search bar, in it you need to write the name of the add-on, namely Fast Dial.

    After you find this extension, you will then need to click on it and select the “Add to Mozila Firefox” button. The last thing to do is to restart your web browser; this will be required for the changes to take effect.

    Setting up express launch in Mozilla Firefox

    After you have restarted your web surfer, you need to select the “+” icon (that is, the add a new tab icon), you can also hold down two keys on the keyboard Ctrl + T, after which nine mini-windows should appear on the main screen.

    Now you need to configure your launch pages (this means writing down the addresses that you visit most often). In order to add a page to Quick Launch, you will need to do the following:

    1. We go to the site that you visit most often, copy the site address.
    2. Now you need to open the launcher, find a free window and click on it.
    3. A window should appear with the words “Address”, you will need to insert a link to the site, and if you wish, you can fill out other fields, such as “Title”, “Description”, but this is completely optional.
    4. After you have inserted the address, you must confirm your actions and hold down the “OK” key.

    Enlarge or reduce mini-windows

    To change the number of mini-windows that are visible in Quick Start, you will need:

    1. Launch the Mozilla Firefox web browser, find the menu, find the “Tools” section there, click on “Add-ons” there.
    2. A panel with an "Extensions" button should appear. Find the required extension, click on it, find “Settings”.
    3. In these settings there should be a line “Quantity”, here you select the quantity (the number of windows can be selected horizontally, vertically).
    4. You can also adjust their size there.

    Another application for installing an express panel is Speed ​​Dial. The principle of its operation is the same as the Fast Dial application, which was described above. But more interesting.

    Next Mozilla update Firefox has made major changes to its interface, adding a special menu button that hides the main sections of the browser. Today we will talk about how this panel can be configured.

    Express panel – special menu Mozilla Firefox, in which the user can quickly navigate to the desired section of the browser. By default, this panel allows you to quickly go to browser settings, open history, launch the browser in full screen, and much more. Depending on the user's requirements, unnecessary buttons from this express panel can be removed by adding new ones.

    How to set up the Express Panel in Mozilla Firefox?

    1. Open the Express Panel by clicking on the browser menu button. In the lower area of ​​the window, click the button "Change" .

    2. The window will be divided into two parts: in the left area there are buttons that can be added to the express panel, and in the right area, accordingly, the express panel itself.

    3. In order to remove unnecessary buttons from the express panel, hold down the unnecessary button with the mouse and drag it to the left area of ​​the window. Exactly the opposite happens when adding buttons to the express panel.

    4. Below is a button "Show/Hide Panels" . By clicking on it, you can control two panels on the screen: the menu bar (appears in the very top area of ​​the browser, containing the buttons “File”, “Edit”, “Tools”, etc.), as well as the bookmarks bar (below address bar browser bookmarks will be located).

    By spending a few minutes setting up the Express Panel, you can completely personalize Mozilla Firefox to your tastes, making your browser a little more convenient.

    I really like this point :) You can adjust a lot on your own. Click and watch. what will be revealed to us:

    Point by point:
    1. Toolbars- as you can see, there is a small arrow drawn there, - this means this menu item is divided into some more sections. Move your mouse and look:

    A. Menu bar- if this item has a checkmark, it means this panel is now enabled and visible. If you click on this item, the check mark will be removed and the panel will also disappear (the rest are the same).
    IN in this case we are talking about exactly the panel we are talking about now.

    b. Navigation bar

    V. Bookmarks bar- if this item has a checkmark, it means this panel is now enabled and visible. This is the panel:

    Now the useful of these three points:
    Very often they ask questions like: “such and such a panel in the mastic disappeared...”. I hope now you understand the reason for such disappearances :) If the panel itself with the “view” button has disappeared, then to return it just right-click about here (a sign will open where we put a checkmark):

    d. Customize- this is already an interesting point :) Click and the following settings board will open:

    Here, the first thing that catches our eye is a certain list of icons and buttons. We can place all these icons on our panels for convenience :) To place any icon, we simply click on it with the left mouse button and drag it to the panel in the place we need :)
    For example, I moved the “activity indicator” icon:

    What the icon means, I think I’ll write later :) for now let’s move on.
    In these settings, as soon as we change something, the result is immediately visible in the browser. Look :)

    At the bottom of the window we look, there is this item:

    It’s generally clear here... The item is responsible for displaying icons. Text, picture, or both :) I’ll show you using arrows as an example:


    OR
    OR

    We choose, whatever suits us :) So, I’ll do it now big gap. Otherwise I’m already getting a little confused and confusing you :)

    Add a panel - we can add additional panel and not just one. For convenience, of course. You can also place icons on it. bookmarks, etc. Click the button:

    Enter the name of our new panel in the window and click "ok":

    But that’s not all - our panel has appeared, but so that it does not disappear, we need to move some icon to it... otherwise the browser will delete it as “empty”. Moved it, - click “done” in the settings window. So I moved the icon, now it all looks like this:

    After adding a new panel, in our menu, in addition to the three main panels (with checkboxes), there will also be our new one. Disable and enable it according to the same principle (they said at the beginning of the post).

    And the last button in these settings is " restore", - i.e. return all settings to default :)

    Phew...that's enough for now. We'll talk about the rest of the "type" points later :)
