Browsing the Internet with Konqueror
If you want to use Konqueror as a Web browser, just type
an URL in the location bar. Like Firefox, Konqueror also
features tabbed browsing. This means that you can load
one page in the background while reading another. To open
an empty tab in Konqueror, press
a new URL. Alternatively, right-click a link in the Web site
currently displayed and select Open in New Tab. Right-click
a tab to access more tab options like reloading, duplicating,
or closing the tab.
You can also use bookmarks for your favorite Web sites
(and also for files and folders). Add and manage your
bookmarks with the Bookmarks menu.
Browsing the Internet with Firefox
As well as Konqueror, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop also
includes the Firefox Web browser. To start Firefox, press
Alt + F2 and enter firefox.
With features like tabbed browsing, pop-up window block-
ing, and download and image management, Firefox com-
bines the latest Web technologies. Its easy access to differ-
ent search engines helps you find the information you need.
Enter a URL in the location bar to start browsing. To open
an empty tab in Firefox, press
To open a link in a new tab, click the link with your middle
mouse button. Right-click the tab itself to access more tab
options. You can create a new tab, reload one or all existing
tabs, or close them. You can also change the sequence of
the tabs by dragging and dropping them to the desired
position.
Finding Information with Firefox
Firefox offers two different kinds of search options: you
can find information on the Web or you can search the
current Web page for keywords.
1. To start a search on the Web with the Google engine,
just type your search keywords in the integrated search
bar at the right of the location bar and press Enter. The
results appear in the window.
Ctrl + Shift + N and enter
Ctrl + T and enter a new URL.
2. To use a different search engine, click the G icon in the
search bar to open a list of other search engines.
3. Click the desired engine and press
search.
To search the current Web page for keywords, press
to open a find bar at the bottom of the window. Enter your
search keyword there and use the buttons beneath the bar
to search in different directions or to highlight all hits in
the text.
Downloading Files from the Web
If you download a file with Firefox, the Download Manager
starts and saves this file to the folder configured in the
preferences. By default, your desktop is the destination
folder for downloaded files. Firefox shows your finished
downloads in a dialog box.
You can open the downloaded files from there directly. To
clean up the history of downloaded files, click Clean Up.
Configuring Firefox Preferences
To adjust the default download folder or activate or modify
the pop-up blocking feature, click Edit → Preferences.
