A quick introduction to the File menu in Mozilla Firefox!!!!
The first menu in the Firefox web browsing software application, as is the case with all software applications, is the File menu. The File menu of the Firefox web browsing software application enables the end user to open a new window, open a new tab, open a location, open a file and close the window, tab, location or file being viewed using the Firefox web browsing software application. The File menu of the Firefox web browsing software application offers keyboard shortcuts for any and every option that has keyboard shortcuts by stating the same adjacent to the option in the File menu. A look at the File menu of the Firefox web browsing software application helps the end user know that the keyboard shortcut to open a new window is CTRL + N, the shortcut to open a new tab is CTRL + T, the shortcut to open a new location in the Firefox web browsing software application is CTRL + L, CTRL + O for a new location and CTRL + W for closing the Firefox web browser’s window, tab, location or file.
What does one mean by the ‘open location’ feature in the File menu of the Firefox web browsing software application? This feature enables the end user to open a location on the internet by typing the address of the website in the location bar that pops up after the end user of the Firefox web browsing software application clicks on the ‘open location’ feature. To put it another way, the ‘open location’ feature in the File menu of the Firefox web browsing software application enables the end user to open websites without typing the address in the address bar of the Firefox web browsing software application. However, very few end users of web browsing software applications make use of this feature as most of them are very comfortable using the address bar of the web browsing software application to open websites and other web pages in the web browsing software application. However, there is no denying that there may be some end users of the Firefox web browsing software application who may desire to open locations on the internet using the location bar in the Firefox web browsing software application. For all those end users, the Firefox web browsing software application offers the ‘open location’ feature in the Firefox web browser.
There is a separator in the File menu of the Firefox web browsing software application after these four options. The separator is used by the developers of the Firefox web browsing software application to clump similar functions and options together. This ensures that the end user need not spend a lot of time getting used to the layout of the File menu. Now, any and every person who wants to adjust the page setup of the web page in the Firefox web browsing software application would want to view the effect of the changes that he has made to the setup and would also want to print the web page. It is only when the Firefox web browsing software application wants to print the web page does he adjust the page setup of the web page. Hence, the page setup option in the File menu of the Firefox web browsing software application is clumped together with the Print Preview option and the Print option in the Firefox web browsing software application. It is but natural for the end user to make use of these options simultaneously. Hence, these features have been clumped together and have been separated from other options in the File menu of the Firefox web browsing software application using separators.
