If this is the first time you are running the firefox web brower on coxeter,
or if you would like to have our default configuration for web browsing, which
includes using the standard homepage
(http://www.math.toronto.edu)
and having standard helper applications (such as using
acroread for pdf files),
then quit this firefox
session and type
configure_firefox
at the coxeter prompt. The
next time you run
firefox
you will have the standard system configuration.
If you want to change any firefox preferences (such as "Privacy" or "Security") select the "Preferences..." item from the "Edit" menu. In particular under the "Advanced" preference you can select the "Network" tab to see information about your "Cache" or to clear it (to reclaim disk space if you are going over quota, for example). Also from that page you can set your Cache size. Setting the size to 1 MB is enough for many people, but if you have extra room in your quota you can make this larger.
