Quick Start Guide

3.7.2 Downloading Files from the Web
If you download a le with Firefox, the Firefox download manager starts automatically.
It then saves the le in the folder previously set in the Firefox Preferences. By default,
it uses the Downloads folder in your home directory. Firefox shows the nished
downloads in the Downloads window.
Open the downloaded les directly from the Downloads window or from the destination
folder. Click on Clean List to clean up the history of downloaded les.
3.7.3 Conguring Preferences
If you change the standard folder for downloaded les, or activate or want to change
the pop-up blocker, click on Edit > Preferences.
You can congure advanced settings here, such as the appearance, the language,
data protection and the tab options. Click on the icons and set the options on each
page according to your preferences. To apply the changes click on Close.
3.8 Managing Passwords
GNOME allows you to store your passwords and encryption keys in a Keying. This is
especially useful if you want to store passwords for dierent websites.
