paul@65 48 <h3>Mozilla Firefox - Web Browser</h3>
paul@65 49 <p>
paul@65 50 SliTaz is proud to provide Mozilla Firefox, one of the world's best web
MikeDSmith25@117 51 browsers. It is secure, fast, standards compliant and customizable via a
paul@65 52 system of <em>plugins</em>.
paul@65 53 To launch Firefox on SliTaz simply select from the menu ---&gt;
paul@65 54 Internet --&gt; Mozilla Firefox. The web browser configuration files are stored in the hidden
paul@65 55 (dot) directory <code>~/.mozilla/firefox</code>.
paul@65 56 </p>
paul@65 57 <p>
paul@65 58 Tip: When you combine LiveCD with USB media, you can keep your bookmarks and plugins wherever you go.

paul@65 73 <h3>Retawq - Text mode web browser</h3>
paul@65 74 <p>
paul@65 75 All versions of SliTaz provide the text mode web browser Retawq. You
paul@65 76 can run 'retawq' from the console, a graphical terminal or in X from
paul@65 77 the menu ---&gt; Internet --&gt; Retawq. To
paul@65 78 start <code>retawq</code> from a terminal, just type (with or without the url):
paul@65 79 </p>
paul@65 80 <pre> $ retawq
paul@65 81 $ retawq <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a>
paul@65 82 </pre>
paul@65 83 <p>
paul@65 84 The configuration files are in ~/.retawq, you can edit them with a text
paul@65 85 editor. Pressing &lt;b&gt; will display the bookmarks (bookmarks.html)
paul@65 86 and the &lt;h&gt; key will display the home page.

paul@65 101 $ links -g <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a> &amp;
paul@65 102 $ links
paul@65 103 </pre>
MikeDSmith25@119 104 <p>The configuration files are stored in ~/.links, though it's not advisable
paul@65 105 to modify them. However, Links provides a configuration interface via
MikeDSmith25@117 106 the toolbar at the top, where you can configure the languages,
paul@156 107 bookmarks, etc. When you change options, you must save them via the menu
paul@65 108 bar --&gt; Configuration --&gt; Save options.
