Firefox questions please?

Werdnal

A friend, who is not very PC literate, has inherited a netbook which runs Firefox. I have no experience with this (only IE), but she has asked me to have a look and help her get the hang of it.

When she opens her emails - I think she has a yahoo/hotmail type account, the email list shows at top half of screen, and the open email shows at the bottom - like tiles in IE/Windows. She therefore has only about 4 lines of text in the email visible at any time and has to scroll down each line to read it. Is there any way to open the window in full screen?

Also, how do you close a window/tile - no X in top corner. Only way I can do it is to hit back button.

Any advice appreciated, thanks

for the email problem she will have to set the Reading Pane from 'Bottom' to either 'Off' or 'Right'

for closing tabs there should be a little 'x' on the tab which you want to close (only shows up when you have more than one tab open)

edit: in hotmail under your name in the top right there is 'Options' click it and then select 'Off' (if you want to reading pane) or 'right' (if you want to red the open email to the right of the list)

Hi,

if you only have one tab open you should have X in top right hand corner of page, if more than one tab, then as already said, X at right hand side of tab, might have to hover over it to see it.

What version of FF, (Help > About FF) I've just updated to version 8.0.
