paul@65 47 <h3>Mozilla Firefox - Web Browser</h3>
paul@65 48 <p>
paul@65 49 SliTaz is proud to provide Mozilla Firefox, one of the world's best web
MikeDSmith25@117 50 browsers. It is secure, fast, standards compliant and customizable via a
paul@65 51 system of <em>plugins</em>.
paul@65 52 To launch Firefox on SliTaz simply select from the menu ---&gt;
paul@65 53 Internet --&gt; Mozilla Firefox. The web browser configuration files are stored in the hidden
paul@65 54 (dot) directory <code>~/.mozilla/firefox</code>.
paul@65 55 </p>
paul@65 56 <p>
paul@65 57 Tip: When you combine LiveCD with USB media, you can keep your bookmarks and plugins wherever you go.

paul@65 61 <h3>Retawq - Text mode web browser</h3>
paul@65 62 <p>
paul@65 63 All versions of SliTaz provide the text mode web browser Retawq. You
paul@65 64 can run 'retawq' from the console, a graphical terminal or in X from
paul@65 65 the menu ---&gt; Internet --&gt; Retawq. To
paul@65 66 start <code>retawq</code> from a terminal, just type (with or without the url):
paul@65 67 </p>
paul@65 68 <pre> $ retawq
paul@65 69 $ retawq <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a>
paul@65 70 </pre>
paul@65 71 <p>
paul@65 72 The configuration files are in ~/.retawq, you can edit them with a text
paul@65 73 editor. Pressing &lt;b&gt; will display the bookmarks (bookmarks.html)
paul@65 74 and the &lt;h&gt; key will display the home page.

paul@65 78 <h3>Links - Graphical &amp; Text browser</h3>
paul@65 79 <p>
paul@65 80 Links was the first graphical web browser on the SliTaz LiveCD, it has since been replaced
paul@65 81 by Firefox, but Links is always available as a package:
paul@65 82 </p>
paul@65 83 <pre> # tazpkg get-install links
paul@65 84 </pre>
paul@65 85 <p>
paul@162 86 Links offers a graphical and a text mode. To use the graphical mode, we can use the option <code>-g</code>:
paul@65 87 </p>
paul@65 88 <pre> $ links -g &amp;
paul@65 89 $ links -g <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a> &amp;
paul@65 90 $ links
paul@65 91 </pre>
MikeDSmith25@119 92 <p>The configuration files are stored in ~/.links, though it's not advisable
paul@65 93 to modify them. However, Links provides a configuration interface via
MikeDSmith25@117 94 the toolbar at the top, where you can configure the languages,
paul@156 95 bookmarks, etc. When you change options, you must save them via the menu
paul@65 96 bar --&gt; Configuration --&gt; Save options.
