00:00:08,333 --> 00:00:12,200
Its name is Firefox, Mozilla Firefox,

2
00:00:12,233 --> 00:00:16,033
and it's a browser, a program to surf the internet

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,933
Mmm... I'm into it...

4
00:00:19,333 --> 00:00:23,333
Firefox is currently the second most used browser in the world,

5
00:00:23,367 --> 00:00:26,533
after Internet Explorer for Windows, which probably would not be the first,

6
00:00:26,567 --> 00:00:30,167
if it were not already installed with Microsoft operating systems.

7
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,600
On 17 June 2008 the new version was released, the 3,

8
00:00:34,633 --> 00:00:38,167
which in 24 hours has been downloaded 8 million times,

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,667
thus entering the Guinness Book of World Records.

10
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:44,000
Firefox is available for any operating system:

11
00:00:44,033 --> 00:00:46,267
obviously for Linux, since it is Open Source,

12
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:49,833
but also for Windows and Mac. And clearly it's free.

13
00:00:49,867 --> 00:00:53,333
By the way, Firefox, in English, means...

14
00:00:53,367 --> 00:00:56,000
no, wrong: it means red panda! 

15
00:00:56,033 --> 00:00:58,667
But in fact, symbol is a fox on fire,...

16
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:01,933
Ah yes... it is as if a company named "sea lion" 

17
00:01:01,967 --> 00:01:06,467
had as a symbol a lion at the sea.

18
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:09,200
But let's see what's extraordinary in the lion,

19
00:01:09,233 --> 00:01:13,867
wrong, the fox,... the panda,... in short, the beast.

20
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:19,433
For those who surf the Internet, the main concern is to avoid scams and viruses.

21
00:01:19,467 --> 00:01:23,500
Every time you type an address, Firefox checks to see if that site

22
00:01:23,533 --> 00:01:26,233
is on the black list made available by Google 

23
00:01:26,267 --> 00:01:28,700
and warns you about a possible danger.

24
00:01:28,733 --> 00:01:32,100
It's a very effective way to avoid those sites that contain

25
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:35,833
viruses or programs that may damage your computer.

26
00:01:35,867 --> 00:01:39,500
Another type of widespread scam is phishing:

27
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:43,600
fake sites that mimic the layout of institutional sites or banks,

28
00:01:43,633 --> 00:01:46,100
in order to steal passwords or PIN. 

29
00:01:46,133 --> 00:01:48,033
To avoid such scams,

30
00:01:48,067 --> 00:01:51,167
since long have been developed digital certificates,

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,600
that guarantee the identity of a subject.

32
00:01:53,633 --> 00:01:55,633
Well, if the site is fitted, 

33
00:01:55,667 --> 00:01:59,433
Firefox automatically becomes green and highlights it.

34
00:01:59,467 --> 00:02:03,867
You can also retrieve additional information on the site where you are:

35
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:06,567
how many times you have visited it before,

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,667
if you access via a password,

37
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:12,667
when it was last changed and much more.

38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,500
We shouldn't forget that Firefox is a Free Software,

39
00:02:16,533 --> 00:02:19,800
which means that it is always under the eyes of thousands of experts

40
00:02:19,833 --> 00:02:22,400
who can discover and report any small bug! 

41
00:02:22,433 --> 00:02:25,233
Periodically the software checks the availability

42
00:02:25,267 --> 00:02:29,167
of patches or new versions and if there are, it informs you.

43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,633
The update is done with two clicks!

44
00:02:32,233 --> 00:02:34,633
Very useful is the key "citral", control,

45
00:02:34,667 --> 00:02:37,500
which can be used for a sea of operations. 

46
00:02:37,533 --> 00:02:39,533
For example, holding it

47
00:02:39,567 --> 00:02:41,700
you can duplicate the navigation tabs

48
00:02:41,733 --> 00:02:43,733
and with all the navigation history,

49
00:02:43,767 --> 00:02:46,867
a very comfortable feature to follow different inquiries in parallel! 

50
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:49,467
You need to copy different parts of a text?

51
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:52,033
Again, with the help of key "citral", control

52
00:02:52,067 --> 00:02:56,333
you can make a discontinuous selection of the text! Copy and paste! 

53
00:02:56,367 --> 00:02:58,200

In combination with the "plus" and "minus"

54
00:02:58,233 --> 00:03:00,700
you can zooms and decrease the page,

55
00:03:00,733 --> 00:03:04,500
without deformating the proportions of objects inside! 

56
00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:08,500
Do you have in mind that annoying habit of some sites which... pop!

57
00:03:08,533 --> 00:03:11,333
they open up ads before our eyes?

58
00:03:11,367 --> 00:03:16,733
Well, by default, Firefox blocks these annoying windows!

59
00:03:16,767 --> 00:03:18,767
And if you need them,

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,733
then you can authorize the site to make pop! 

61
00:03:23,433 --> 00:03:26,133
Then there's the Awesome Bar, the smart bar,

62
00:03:26,167 --> 00:03:28,633
where not only you write the addresses,

63
00:03:28,667 --> 00:03:32,200
but you automatically search among your favorites

64
00:03:32,233 --> 00:03:36,133
and the sites you have visited recently and if nothing is found,

65
00:03:36,167 --> 00:03:38,333
it searches in Google and Wikipedia.

66
00:03:38,367 --> 00:03:42,867
Again on the Bar you can fast mark both the RSS,

67
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:46,267
pressing on the special icons invented by the Mozilla Foundation,

68
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:48,667
and the bookmarks, clicking on the star.

69
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,933
You can devote to reorder them calmly and when you have time, 

70
00:03:52,967 --> 00:03:55,400
creating custom folders, too:

71
00:03:55,433 --> 00:03:57,867
extraordinary the ways of organization.

72
00:03:57,900 --> 00:03:59,900
About bookmarks ...

73
00:03:59,933 --> 00:04:04,000
in case of a move from Internet Explorer to Firefox, don't be afraid,

74
00:04:04,033 --> 00:04:06,367
you can import them easily!

75
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,333
Let's move to the other bar, to the right.

76
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:12,867
Google is the default search engine,

77
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,400
but you can choose whatever you want:

78
00:04:15,433 --> 00:04:18,233
Yahoo!, Wikipedia, an Italian-English dictionary,

79
00:04:18,267 --> 00:04:21,133
an etymological dictionary, the white pages, ... 

80
00:04:21,167 --> 00:04:23,167
There are more than 16,000

81
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,100
and the most famous are clearly Youtube and search for torrent files ...

82
00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:29,133
little scamps...

83
00:04:29,167 --> 00:04:32,167
But Firefox is really unsurpassable with extensions,

84
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,833
small programs that you can download and add,

85
00:04:35,867 --> 00:04:39,767
which allow you to do with ease specific operations.

86
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,800
Here are some examples ... 

87
00:04:41,833 --> 00:04:46,067
Would you like to download videos from YouTube or other video sharing sites? 

88
00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:48,667
An extension called Video Downloadhelper

89
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:50,833
lets you do it very easily

90
00:04:50,867 --> 00:04:53,933
and let you even set the automatic conversion of video files

91
00:04:53,967 --> 00:04:55,967
in a specific format. 

92
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,900
Who hates advertisements in the web sites,

93
00:04:58,933 --> 00:05:02,267
find an ally in AdBlock Plus, which blocks all of them! 

94
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:06,300
These are just two examples of the hundreds of extensions available,

95
00:05:06,333 --> 00:05:11,633
for every whim or need, all free downloadable from Mozilla site.

96
00:05:11,667 --> 00:05:13,667
And then there is the choice of the themes:

97
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:16,500
you do not like the default for your operating system?

98
00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:20,533
You prefer one more daring? Spatial? Honey? More sober?

99
00:05:20,567 --> 00:05:22,967
Choose the style that suits you!

100
00:05:23,467 --> 00:05:26,867
There may be doubt about which browser to use? 

101
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,167
Someone will say, but I am used with mine ... 

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,000
Yes ... but it is as if for a transcontinental flight

103
00:05:33,033 --> 00:05:35,567
they would offer to move for free in first class

104
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,733
and you

105
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,500
If you believe that these videos are useful,

106
00:05:48,533 --> 00:05:51,533
help us to create new ones! How?

107
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:53,900
Distribute them as much as possible:

108
00:05:53,933 --> 00:05:55,933
you are allowed by the licence,

109
00:05:55,967 --> 00:05:57,967
we choise it on purpose!

110
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,533
Let us know what you liked and what should be improved,

111
00:06:00,567 --> 00:06:02,567
correct the text of the new episodes,

112
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,867
or evaluate video previews.

113
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:08,000
Participate in the research and development of the text,

114
00:06:08,033 --> 00:06:10,933
help us to resolve some technical problems

115
00:06:10,967 --> 00:06:14,200
or even help translate the texts in other languages!

116
00:06:14,233 --> 00:06:16,667
Make a donation, become a sponsor,

117
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,567
or put us in contact with possible donors.

118
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,800
Subscribe to the newsletter of the project,

119
00:06:21,833 --> 00:06:23,833
and choose how to cooperate.

120
00:06:23,867 --> 00:06:26,367
Or follow the work in the "Cantiere" (dockyard)!

121
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,400
Every little help is valuable.

122
00:06:28,433 --> 00:06:30,433
See you soon!
