効率よく検索をするには、ロケーションバーから・Sidebar から・ネット検索ページから、の3つの方法があります
特定のトピックについて Web ページを検索するには、下の図のようにブラウザのロケーションバーに簡単な質問や1つ2つの単語をタイプしてください。
例えば、海外旅行についての情報を検索したいのならば:
検索を実行した後、新しく検索するまで Sidebar の [検索] タブに検索結果が保持されます。検索結果を表示しなおすために [戻る] ボタンをクリックする必要はありません。[検索] Sidebar にあるほかの検索結果を選択するだけです。
検索結果を保存するには、[検索結果をブックマークする] をクリックします。後でリストに戻るには、ブックマークメニューを開きます。ブックマークメニューの一番下のフォルダに検索結果が見つかります。
Sidebar の [検索] タブによって、効率よく検索し、検索結果をブックマークすることができます。例えば、温泉旅行についての情報を検索したいのならば:
Sidebar の検索タブに選択された検索エンジンの一覧がある場合は、詳細モードに設定されています。そのままこれを使用するか、[設定] で [シンプル] に設定を変更することができます。([編集] -> [設定] -> [Navigator] -> [インターネット検索]

To save an entire page:
When you view a page containing frames and a frame is currently selected, the pop-up menu's Save Frame As option is offered in addition to Save Page As. This lets you save only the page within the selected frame.
Saving a file onto your hard drive lets you view the page (or its HTML code) when you're not connected to the Internet.
To save an image from a page:
To save a page without displaying it (which is useful for retrieving a nonformatted page, like a data file, that's not intended for viewing):
Important: Some links automatically download and save files to your hard drive after you click them. The URLs for these links often begin with "ftp" or end with a file-type extension such as "au" or "mpeg." These links might transmit software, sound, or movie files, and can launch helper applications that support the files.

To print the current page:
The size of the printed page, not the size of the on-screen window, determines placement of content on the print-out. Text is wrapped and graphics are repositioned to accommodate paper size.
Print Plus is a service that helps you:
To use this service, open the File menu and choose Print Plus.
Note: Print Plus includes a utility that automatically checks to see what type of printers are configured on your computer. The information about your printers is stored on your computer in a cookie. You are always asked for permission before this information is gathered.

If you browse, compose, or send and receive email in more than one language, you need to select the appropriate character codings and fonts.
A character coding 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 coding method (also known as a character encoding or character set).
The character coding method for a document depends on its language. Some languages---such as most of the Western languages---share the same coding method. Others, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Russian, use different method.
Your version of Mozilla is probably set to default character coding(s) appropriate for your region. However, If you use more than one language you may need to select appropriate character coding methods and designate the fonts you wish to use for use coding method.
To select character codings:
The character coding methods you select are added to the bottom of the Character Coding menu. If you have more than one coding method selected, the active one has a bullet (dot) next to it.
Mozilla can detect which character coding a document uses, and can display it correctly on your screen. To take advantage of this capability:
To make changes to your list of active character sets:
To change the default fonts:
Many web page authors choose their own fonts and font sizes. You can override the authors' intentions by selecting "Always use my font settings, overriding web page font."
To adjust the readability of fonts, type a number for your preferred resolution in the field next to "Screen resolution." 96 dpi (dots per inch) is the standard resolution, but you may want to choose a larger value.

Web pages are sometimes available in several languages. Mozilla presents pages in the language you prefer, if it is available. You can specify the languages you wish to see, in order of preference.
To set language preferences:
Note: Two-letter codes enclosed in brackets appear next to each language in the list. These are standard abbreviations for languages. For a complete list, go to this web site:

Navigator can handle many types of files. However, for some files, such as movies, Navigator launches a "helper" application that can handle the file, or it saves the file for you to view later.
The settings in the Helper Applications preferences panel tell Navigator which helper applications to use on your computer. You probably don't need to change them because they come preconfigured. Also, if Navigator doesn't know which helper application to use, it guides you in finding one.
For experienced users to fine-tune the Helper Applications preferences:

When you bring a web page to your screen, Mozilla automatically loads (starts up) several features that help interpret web pages. These features can make web pages more lively, but they take time to load.
To turn off automatic loading:
To save time typing your password when you use "anonymous" as your user ID for an FTP site, choose "Send email address as anonymous FTP password." Choosing this option transmits your email address automatically when you log on to a public FTP (File Transfer Protocol) site. FTP sites are used for transferring files.

Your computer stores copies of frequently accessed pages in the memory cache or disk 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 memory cache or to clear it (Windows and Unix only):
Important: A larger memory cache allows more data to be quickly retrieved. But unless you have a lot of extra memory on your computer, 1024K is large enough.
To set the size of the disk cache or to clear it:
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):
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," because the verification requires a network connection that takes time.
To refresh a page at any time:
To retrieve a fresh copy of a page regardless of what's in the cache:

This section explains how to open Netscape's Personal Security Manager, and how to work with proxies.
For detailed instructions on using Mozilla's privacy features, including Cookie Manager, Password Manager, and Form Manager, see Understanding Privacy. (Open the Help menu, choose Help Contents, and click Understanding Privacy.)
Personal Security Manager helps you protect the security of your communications over the Internet. Personal Security Manager can check the security settings of web sites you visit, encrypt mail before you send it, and help assure security in many other ways.
Personal Security Manager has its own extensive online Help, including general information about maintaining security on the Internet, and definitions of security-related terminology.
To access Personal Security Manager and view its Help, open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy and Security, and then choose Security Manager. Personal Security Manager also appears when you click a lock icon in the browser window.

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:
To set the browser to work with the proxy:
(If you select Manual proxy configuration) In the "No Proxy for:" field, type the names of any domains that you can connect to directly, bypassing the proxy. For example, if you type "netscape.com", then the proxy is bypassed each time you view a web page from netscape.com.
Domain names are the part of a URL that contains the name of an organization, business, or school---such as netscape.com or washington.org. If you use local host names without the domain name, list them the same way. Use commas to separate multiple hostnames. The wildcard character [*] cannot be used.
