42 <h3>Mozilla Firefox - Web Browser</h3>
43 <p>
44 SliTaz is proud to provide Mozilla Firefox, one of the world's best web
45 browsers, secure, fast, standards compliant and customizable via a
46 system of <em>plugins</em>.
47 To launch Firefox on SliTaz simply select from the menu --->
48 Internet --> Mozilla Firefox. The web browser configuration files are stored in the hidden
49 (dot) directory <code>~/.mozilla/firefox</code>.

56 <h3>Retawq - Text mode web browser</h3>
57 <p>
58 All versions of SliTaz provide the text mode web browser Retawq. You
59 can run 'retawq' from the console, a graphical terminal or in X from
60 the menu ---> Internet --> Retawq. To
61 start <code>retawq</code> from a terminal, just type (with or without the url):
62 </p>
63 <pre> $ retawq
64 $ retawq <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a>
65 </pre>
66 <p>
67 The configuration files are in ~/.retawq, you can edit them with a text
68 editor. Pressing <b> will display the bookmarks (bookmarks.html)
69 and the <h> key will display the home page.

73 <h3>Links - Graphical & Text browser</h3>
74 <p>
75 Links was the first graphical web browser on the SliTaz LiveCD, it has since been replaced
76 by Firefox, but Links is always available as a package:
77 </p>
78 <pre> # tazpkg get-install links
79 </pre>
80 <p>
81 Links offers a graphical and a text mode. To use the graphical mode, we can use the option <code>-g</code>.
82 </p>
83 <pre> $ links -g &
84 $ links -g <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a> &
85 $ links
86 </pre>
87 <p>The configuration files are stored in ~/.links, it's not advisible
88 to modify them. However, Links provides a configuration interface via
89 the toolbar at the top, this is where you can configure the languages,
90 bookmarks etc. When you change options; you must save them via the menu
91 bar --> Configuration --> Save options.

101 useful information.
