Using a Web Browser to View Web Sites

We will be using the web browser "Firefox" to visit web sites on the Internet. You will find it in your "Applications" folder.

To change your home page in the Firefox browser (the procedure is almost identical for Safari and Internet Explorer):

• Open Firefox
  
• Go to www.spurgeoncougars.us
  
• Click "Firefox" in the menu bar
  
• Drop down to "Preferences"
  
• Click the "General" tab in dialog box that appears (1st tab)
  
• Click "Use Current Page"
  
• Close the dialog box
  
• Test by clicking the Firefox "home" icon.

If you want a different home page, go to any web page instead of www.spurgeoncougars.us and follow the above directions.

To add a bookmark to the Firefox toolbar (the procedure is almost identical for Safari and Internet Explorer):

• Open Firefox
  
• Go to the web page to be bookmarked (We will bookmark "Ms Kline Online")
  
• Click "Boookmarks" in the menu bar
  
• Drop down to "Bookmark This Page..."
  
• Name the bookmark
  
• Click the drop-down menu in the "Create in:" field
  
• Drop down to "Bookmarks Toolbar"
  
• Click "Save"
