    2.45 +<h3>Mozilla Firefox - Web Browser</h3>
    2.46 +<p>

    2.48 +browsers, secure, fast, standards compliant and customizable via a
    2.49 +system of <em>plugins</em>.
    2.50 +To launch Firefox on SliTaz simply select from the menu ---&gt;
    2.51 +Internet --&gt; Mozilla Firefox. The web browser configuration files are stored in the hidden 
    2.52 +(dot) directory <code>~/.mozilla/firefox</code>.
    2.53 +</p>

    2.58 +<a name="retawq"></a>
    2.59 +<h3>Retawq - Text mode web browser</h3>
    2.60 +<p>
    2.61 +All versions of SliTaz provide the text mode web browser Retawq. You
    2.62 +can run 'retawq' from the console, a graphical terminal or in X from
    2.63 +the menu ---&gt; Internet --&gt; Retawq. To
    2.64 +start <code>retawq</code> from a terminal, just type (with or without the url):
    2.65 +</p>
    2.66 +<pre> $ retawq
    2.67 + $ retawq <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a>
    2.68 +</pre>
    2.69 +<p>
    2.70 +The configuration files are in ~/.retawq, you can edit them with a text
    2.71 +editor. Pressing &lt;b&gt; will display the bookmarks (bookmarks.html)
    2.72 +and the &lt;h&gt; key will display the home page.

    2.82 +</pre>
    2.83 +<p>
    2.84 +Links offers a graphical and a text mode. To use the graphical mode, we can use the option <code>-g</code>.

    2.87 + $ links -g <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a> &amp;
    2.88 + $ links
    2.89 +</pre>
    2.90 +<p>The configuration files are stored in ~/.links, it's not advisible
    2.91 +to modify them. However, Links provides a configuration interface via
    2.92 +the toolbar at the top, this is where you can configure the languages,
    2.93 +bookmarks etc. When you change options; you must save them via the menu
    2.94 +bar --&gt; Configuration --&gt; Save options.
