The sidebar is located on the left of the Mozilla
Navigator screen.
To access the contents
of any sidebar tab, click on its name. To close a sidebar tab, you must open
another one. The sidebar contains the following tabs by default:
What's Related —
Click on this tab to see a list of other websites that are related to the one
you are currently viewing. Go to the Navigator
=> Smart Browsing section of
Mozilla's preferences to have the
What's Related tool ignore certain websites.
Search —
The Search tab opens a screen in the sidebar
where you can do a search for websites using a keyword or phrase and see
the results without having to leave the site you are currently
viewing.
Bookmarks —
You can add sites that you like or visit often to your bookmark list for easy
access. When you find a site you want to add, click on
=> .
History —
The History tab shows a list of the sites you have visited. You can set
determine how many days the history tab will store sites before
clearing them by going to =>
and going to History
under the Navigation option.
The sidebar can be customized by clicking on the
Tabs button that appears at the top of the sidebar
list and selecting Customize My Sidebar. This opens a
screen where you can add tabs to and remove tabs from your sidebar,
and search for additional sidebar
tabs online.
Click on Tabs and select Sidebar
Directory to go straight to the Internet where you can browse
through and choose websites to add as new sidebar tabs (similar to
bookmarking them). Select a site and you will be asked to confirm the
selection before the new tab is added.
