Update from 01/28/16
IN lately Sites have appeared on the Internet whose domain is located in the Russian Federation zone, that is, the address of such a site is written not in Latin letters, but in Cyrillic, after the Cyrillic domain there is a dot, then the letters рф
For example: http://megaservicespb.rf/
Many Internet browsers, programs and services do not understand the new Cyrillic zone.рф. For correct operation they recode Russian letters into the so-called Punycode.
If you write such a Cyrillic address in the site address bar when setting up the express panel, then when you open the site by clicking on the filled cell, an error will occur.
In order for programs and services to know what Cyrillic domains in Latin letters actually look like, there is a certain service, the active link to which looks like:
https://2ip.ru/punycode/
If necessary, use this service, open it using the link.
Enter the Cyrillic address in the “Domain” field and click the “Translate” button.
Copy the resulting code in Latin characters and enter it into the site address bar when setting up the express panel.

Mozilla Firevox is the most popular of all existing browsers among Internet users, it is very convenient and fast, but there is still one minor drawback.

This browser does not contain Express Launcher as such, it only has top line bookmarks, but it’s not always convenient to use. I would still like to have a full-fledged express line.

But this is no longer a huge problem, since thanks to various applications and some settings, almost any user of this web browser can configure it.

Fast Dial

The most popular plugin for installing express launch is Fast Dial. It looks like this. On home page Nine mini-windows appear with thumbnails of the pages that the user has previously selected.

But if a browser user clicks on one of the windows, he will be taken not just to the site, but to a specific page that was set in the settings.

Installing a new add-on

So, we launch our web surfer, enter addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/ in the address bar (you can also simply find the “Add-ons” line in the Mozila Firefox settings). Next we see the search bar, in it you need to write the name of the add-on, namely Fast Dial.

After you find this extension, you will then need to click on it and select the “Add to Mozila Firefox” button. The last thing to do is to restart your web browser, this will be required for the changes to take effect.

Setting up express launch in Mozilla Firefox

After you have rebooted your web surfer, you need to select the “+” icon (that is, the add a new tab icon), you can also hold down two keys on the keyboard Ctrl + T, after which nine mini-windows should appear on the main screen.

Now you need to configure your launch pages (this means writing down the addresses that you visit most often). In order to add a page to Quick Launch, you will need to do the following:

1. We go to the site that you visit most often, copy the site address.
2. Now you need to open the launcher, find a free window and click on it.
3. A window should appear with the words “Address”, you will need to insert a link to the site, and if you wish, you can fill out other fields, such as “Title”, “Description”, but this is completely optional.
4. After you have inserted the address, you must confirm your actions and hold down the “OK” key.

Enlarge or reduce mini-windows

To change the number of mini-windows that are visible in Quick Start, you will need:

1. Launch web browser Mozilla Firefox, find the menu, find the “Tools” section there, click on the “Add-ons” sign there.
2. A panel with an "Extensions" button should appear. Find the required extension, click on it, find “Settings”.
3. In these settings there should be a line “Quantity”, here you select the quantity (the number of windows can be selected horizontally, vertically).
4. There you can adjust their size.

Another application for installing an express panel is Speed ​​Dial. The principle of its operation is the same as the Fast Dial application, which was described above. But more interesting.

Starting with Firefox 13, the Mozilla browser has its own analogue of visual bookmarks from Opera. In particular, visual previews of the user's nine most visited websites appeared on the New Tab page.

Unfortunately, unlike Opera, the Express panel in Firefox is almost completely limited in terms of customization: the user cannot configure either the number of cells with bookmarks or the page background, and cannot even independently set the desired bookmark in a separate cell, because The browser can currently only do this automatically.

Mozilla is already preparing to fix these issues in the foreseeable future. significant shortcomings, in the meantime, the user can take advantage of other visual bookmarks by installing free and compact extensions into the web browser.

Today, there are already a number of modules that can add a full-fledged express panel with many customization options to the Mozilla web browser.
Such extensions include, for example, Fast Dial, FVD Speed ​​Dial, New Tab King and Super Start.

Firefox Visual Bookmarks - New Tab Tools Add-on

In turn, one of the highest quality in terms of performance and minimal impact on the browser’s consumption of system resources is the New Tab Tools extension, which significantly expands the functionality and capabilities for customizing the new tab page.

New Tab Tools is installed just like any other extension. To do this, you should go to this module page in the official Mozilla directory. Next, click on the green “Add to Firefox” button.

In the dialog box that appears, click the install button immediately after the three-second timer finishes its work:


Next, a message will appear indicating that the module was installed successfully. The extension itself weighs only a few kilobytes, so installation is almost instant.

New Tab Tools settings are located in two places. To access the first part of the settings, open the add-on manager:

On the “extensions” tab opposite NewTabTools, click the settings button:

Here you can customize your new tab page. In particular, the number of rows and columns in the visual bookmarks panel, the distance between cells, display of the panel with recently closed tabs(at the top of the new tab page), as well as the display and location of the panel with shortcuts for launching basic browser elements. In addition, you can optionally hide buttons and icons on cells.

Even the most experienced web surfers sometimes admit that the Express panel in Firefox helps them out a lot. In other words, this functional invention is not a sign of amateurism, a kind of lifesaver for timid novice users, but a powerful tool for quick access to your favorite sites. One click on the icon and you're done. So much for VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and other web likes. And you don’t need to rummage through your bookmarks, and, what’s worse, you don’t need to type the full addresses of sites into the Mozilla Firefox address bar. Yes, and also quick start Mozilla saves the user’s precious time. Even if these are minutes, it’s still better to spend them on getting acquainted with your mail, viewing photos on friends’ pages and other online needs and interests.

This article will give you good advice- how to set up the express panel in Firefox exclusively regular means and using addons.

Let's get started. First things first. By the way, if you are only taking the first steps in mastering the browser and Internet technologies in general, then your status is not a hindrance in familiarizing yourself with this material.

Default panel

The developers of the epic Ognelis, of course, know about all the interface power of the express panel with visual bookmarks. And therefore they integrated it into the distribution, so to speak, by default. After installing FF, it automatically appears in empty tabs.

The blocks already contain links to popular resources on the Internet: Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. During use, sites frequently visited by the user are displayed here. If desired, they can be further configured. This operation is performed like this:

1. Place the cursor over the visual bookmark block. Click the one that appears on the right top corner button "...".

2. In the menu that opens, select the required command:

• “Attach” - fix the link to avoid its deletion;
• “Open in new window” - the linked page opens in a new web browser window;
• “... in a private window” - load the page from the link in safe mode;
• “Hide” - delete.

There is one more setting for the integrated panel. Click the gear button on the bookmarks tab. She is located at the top right side from blocks with URL.

Using the “Top Sites” option, you can disable and enable the display of the express panel. Accordingly, you need to remove or check the box in this line. And in the “Show...” add-on, located under the inscription, the view is set - in two rows or in one.

Addons

It must be said that addons for organizing an express panel have much more capabilities than the built-in browser tool. Let's look at the most popular solutions for Firefox.

Fast Dial

This addon, like all those described below in this article, is installed as follows:

1. Open in your browser the official resource for downloading applications for Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/.

2. In the “Search for add-ons” field (top right), enter the name of the add-on - Fast Dial. Click on the tip of the same name in the drop-down list.

3. On the page that opens, click the “Add...” button. Confirm the installation and wait until the download completes.

Fast Dial is the easiest to manage system of visual bookmarks in a tab. When installation is complete, click on the empty block. In the settings window, enter the address of the site whose thumbnail and link you want to see in the express panel. In the Address field, enter the URL and click OK.

If you right-click on the Fast Dial workspace, a list of general commands opens, as well as modes for importing and exporting saved links. These options allow you to quickly return a previously created URL collection to the express panel.

In the settings window there are options for adjusting the size of table blocks and their number (horizontally and vertically), and update parameters.

Speed ​​Dial

Similar in function and design to Fast Dial. Immediately after installation is complete, the user is prompted to set initial settings: installing a panel on the start page, adding an addon button to top panel FF, launch in empty tabs, etc.

Attention! After enabling/disabling the settings, be sure to click “OK” for the changes to take effect.

To place an address in a table block, click on it and enter the link in the “Address:” line.

After saving, the downloaded preview of the page (its view), if necessary, can be updated with the “arrow” button (it is located in the upper right corner of the block).

Top-Page.ru

A very good solution for those who use FF with an express panel on various devices. Once the installation of the addon is complete, you will immediately be offered a small step by step review TOP-PAGE interface control. After reading, to proceed to the next step of the instructions, click “Continue”.

To synchronize links to different devices, create a profile. In the “Registration” form, enter your work email and password to log in. Then click the “Register” button.

Storing the URL in a block is done in a standard way. Same as in previous addons:

• click on the block;
• domain input;
• Click on the “Add” button.

The bookmark name is added optionally - not required.

In the “Design” menu, you set the background for the panel (the “coloring” options in the tiled gallery).

This concludes our review. Of course, in addition to Fast Dial, Speed ​​Dial and TOP-PAGE, there are many other add-ons for creating an express panel in a tab. You can find them on the addons for FF website. Through practical experience and based on the tasks at hand, you will surely choose a tool for quick access to sites that suits you in the best possible way. In any case, with the help of this add-on, bookmarks to your favorite sites are always in sight and at hand, which is undoubtedly convenient.

Installation of express panel

Unlike Opera, in Mazil this panel is not provided by default. You will need to install a special browser add-on. This is not difficult to do, and besides, the extension is free. And to download it you do not need to search for anything on the Internet; this is done through an Internet browser. To install the extension, do the following:

• Open the browser, you will see the browser start page menu;
• Go to the “Tools” section (located at the top left);
• Next, click “Add-ons”;
• Then click on the line “Get add-ons”;
• A window will appear with a search form, where you need to enter “Speed ​​Dial”, then press “Enter”;
• Select the desired option from the list provided;
• You will see the “Install” button, click on it;
• When the download is complete, a message will appear: “The program will be installed after restarting the browser.” Click "restart now";
• When the browser restarts, a page with available extensions will open. The Speed ​​Dial program will no longer be there. Click on the "Extensions" button;
• Click "Tools" then select "Settings";
• Then go to “Basic”;
• In the “At startup” line, select “Show blank page”, then “OK”;
• Close the tab and then the browser;
• Launch your browser again;
• Now you will see that an express panel has appeared on the start page. It contains empty cells, which can be filled with frequently accessed sites.

Filling out the express panel

To do this, follow these steps:

• Go to a frequently visited website;
• Place the cursor in the address bar and click on it once with the left mouse button. The address will turn blue;
• On the toolbar, select "Edit" and click "Copy";
• Then open new tab, the express panel will appear;
• Right-click on it and select “Edit”;
• Click in the “Address” field, right-click there and click “Insert”;
• Check the box next to “Create a thumbnail from...”;
• And uncheck the “Dynamic” item;
• In the “Title” line, name the link as you like and click “OK”.

Now you will see that a miniature has appeared in one of the cells in the express panel. If you click on it, the page will go to the site.

If you need to delete an image in a mozilla, right-click on it and select “Clear.” If you need to change the link address or change its name, select “Edit”.

Enable the toolbar

If you work in Mozilla, you may also need to activate the toolbar. To perform this operation, do the following:

If you do not find any program windows when you start the browser, it means that the full screen mode. To exit, click on function key"F11". You can do it another way:

In general, almost all panels appear at the top of the browser, but not all. The add-ons panel is located at the bottom.

• Move the cursor to the top of the window and leave it in this position for a while - a panel should appear;
• Click on it and click on the item “Exit full screen mode”;
• If the window does not disappear, and only Internet address tabs are located on the screen, move the mouse cursor to the part of the panel where there are no tabs and right-click on it. In the menu that opens, select the panels that should be displayed in the browser.

"Yandex.Bar" button

Separately, it is worth mentioning the expansion of “Yandex.Bar” in Mazila. With it, you can customize your browser window to suit your needs. If the application has been downloaded and installed, you can enable its button on the panel in the same way as described above. If the extension is installed but you don't see the button, do the following:

• In the “Tools” section, select “Add-ons”, a tab will open;
• On it, open the “Extensions” menu and find the line “Yandex.Bar”;
• Click "Enable";
• Restart your browser.

Now the “Yandex.Bar” button will appear on the panel.

Then you can customize the Bar panel

Click "Open". In the new dialog box, you can select the buttons you want to add. These buttons are located on the left. And on the right are the functions that have already been added to the toolbar.

A modern browser offers a lot of possibilities for comfortable work. If you have just installed an Internet browser, take a look at what options are available. Open the menu in the mozilla, explore the functions, select what you need and what you can do. Sometimes users don’t even know that it can take a couple of seconds to complete some actions (which take them a lot of time) (sometimes they just need to click the mouse button). IN standard settings often not very much useful functions, many of them are activated additionally.

Changing the scale in Mozilla

If you are setting up an express panel in this browser, you may need to adjust the scale. The fact is that in this browser there is no window that would be responsible for the scale. If you are not satisfied with the size of the displayed page, follow these steps:

• Open the “View” section in the control panel;
• Go to the “Scale” tab;
• From the list that opens, you can choose in which direction to change the scale. To increase - press “CTRL+”, to decrease - “CTRL-”. There is also a keyboard shortcut “CTRL + 0” - to set the scale to the original parameters.

By setting up an express panel in the software and placing the necessary buttons on the toolbar, you will optimize the process of using the browser and make it as productive as possible for yourself.

Mozilla (as the Mozilla Firefox browser is often called) is one of the most popular programs. This is the only browser that is a prototype operating system For mobile devices. Mozilla is not heavy on the system and supports many plugins that expand its capabilities.

Mozilla Firefox has a bookmarks bar, but, unfortunately, it does not have its own full-fledged express panel. When you add a new tab, 9 windows appear, where the browser selectively places thumbnail bookmarks of frequently visited sites, but you cannot customize such a panel at your discretion, as in Opera. You can only pin or completely delete pages that have already been entered automatically.

You can fully use the express panel in Mozilla only by installing a special extension (plugin) - Fast Dial. The panel displays 9 mini-windows with thumbnails of the user's favorite sites. By clicking on such a window, the user quickly goes not just to the selected site, but to its specific page (depending on the setting). As an example, let's try to set up an express panel in Mozilla using the Fast Dial plugin.
