An endlessly nice day :)

In English please:

I made this Short Tutorial to enable Firefox users to install the right-click dictionary and some other useful add-ons.

If you use Internet Explorer as your browser, then the following won’t apply to you. However you can still take advantage of a little program called the right click dictionary: http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/quick_Dictionary_Download.aspx

Please note there are many other ways to do the tasks mentioned below. These are only based on my experience and how I went about it set it out. If you have a better program or way, please let me know.

Topics covered here will be:

1) Setup a right mouse-click feature to give you the option to search the definition of a word while using Firefox. (Using an online-dictionary)

(Mozilla Firefox, the alternate internet browser to Microsoft Internet Explorer)

2) To install an Add-on to stop Ads (advertisements) from displaying or to remove them from a web page you regularly visit.

3) Optional: Customize the Firefox Browser look.

I do not recommend any on-line dictionaries. However Microsoft Encarta Dictionary is a nice gradient for me, so I use it.

Step A – Installing your Dictionary add-on.

1. Open the Firefox browser
2. Click on or copy and paste into you browser:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/68

3. Click on the Green “install now” button.
4. A small window will pop-up, if you feel comfortable to install the program, Click Install.
5. Another window will pop-up and start the install, after it completes it will ask you to restart Firefox. – Click Restart Firefox.
6. If you have browsers open it will pop-up a “confirm close” box , Click “Close tabs”
7. The browser will close and take you back to the last page(s) you were viewing.
8. Your dictionary is NOW installed.
9. When you select a word to look up, it by default opens a new window.

Step B – Selecting your Online Dictionary

1. The default dictionary the Add-on uses is “The Free Dictionary”
2. You can add almost any online dictionary that you prefer (limit of 4 dictionaries). I will only go over setting up the Microsoft Encarta online Dictionary.
3. On your browser go to the heading “Tools” , Click on it
4. Then Click on “Add-ons”
5. Click on the “Dictionary search” Picture. This will highlight the selection, this will give you 3 extra buttons “Options” “Disable” and “Uninstall”.
6. Click on the button that says “Options”
7. You can add up to 4 dictionaries. Copy and Paste the following: Search Encarta Dictionary for "$"
8. Paste or write the above in the Box that says Text:
9. In the URL type : http://au.encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/$.html
10. It has to be exactly as above – this is important.
11. After you have done the above it should read something like this:
12. Dictionary 2

Text: Search Encarta Dictionary for "$"

13. URL: http://au.encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/$.html
14. Click “ok” and you done.

Now you can high-light a word, right click it and you will see an option to “Search Encarta Dictionary for "word", select that and you are all set.

Adblock.

Why you need ad block?

When you are clearing a word, you do not want the clutter of ads that might not only be distracting but introduce more misunderstood words. You just want that word, its definitions, the derivation and the pronunciation and as little messages as possible. Adblock is also handy for web pages you regularly visit where you do not wish to the ads to be present, in fact if you do not want any pictures shown that is on a web page , ad block will prevent them from showing.

Ads change and you will need to use Ad Block regularly as ads or pictures get renewed on the web pages you visit. Ad block will remove about 95% of ads if they in picture format; if the Ad is not in picture format it will of course not be removed.

Companies like Yahoo have reoccurring ads, meaning if you ad-block an ad, their ads are set up to rotate through a whole list of ads, but if you just keep ad blocking them eventually you will block many of their unwanted ads. There are also custom ways you can set up Ad block, this you can explore as you choose. For more info visit http://adblockplus.org

Step C – Installing Adblock.

1. Click on or copy and paste into you browser:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

2. Click on the Green “install now” button.
3. A small window will pop-up, if you feel comfortable to install the program, click Install.
4. Another window will pop-up and start the install, after it completes it will ask you to restart Firefox. – Click Restart Firefox.
5. If you have browsers open it will pop-up with a box stating “ confirm close”, Click “Close tabs”
6. The browser will close and take you back to the last page(s) you were viewing.
7. Your Adblock is NOW installed.

Step D – Using Adblock.

1. Go to http://au.encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/word.html or just right click a word to look up.
2. Point your mouse over any image or writing and right click it. At the bottom of your Right-click pop-up will be an option to Adblock image.
3. Click Adblock Image
4. An “Ablock Preferences Box” will pop-up. Just Click “OK”
5. Repeat for ALL images you do not wish to see.

Optional: Customize the Firefox Browser look

There are many useful add-ons that you can use. One that I find useful is Theme called “ Blue Ice”, this changes the Firefox interface and gives it a blue ice look.

Blue Ice theme can be found here.

1. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3085
2. Click on the Green “install now” button.
3. A small window will pop-up, if you feel comfortable to install the program, click Install.
4. Another window will pop-up and start the install, after it completes it will ask you to restart Firefox. – Click Restart Firefox.
5. If you have browsers open it will pop-up with a box stating “ confirm close”, Click “Close tabs”
6. The browser will close and take you back to the last page(s) you were viewing.
7. Your New Theme Blue Ice is NOW installed.
8. You need to select the Theme for use.
9. Click on Tools.
10. Click on Add-ons
11. On the top of the Add-ons box you have 2 choices “Extensions” or “Themes”
12. Click on Themes.
13. Click on the New installed Theme , in this case “blue Ice”, then click on “select theme”
14. Close the Browser completely and restart it
15. Your new theme is now active.

Another good theme is “myfirefox”

“Snowy winter, a plentiful harvest.” B.F 1733

“Snowy winter, make that a double order from China” Ricky Saunders 2007

According to research at an English university, it doesn't matter in what order the letters
in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter is at the right place.
The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem.
This is because we do not read every letter by it self but the word as a whole.

In Gobbledygook please:
