Ubuntu
firefox package

open home page

Asked by jc@infowest.com

Questions
1. When I open home page MSN.com -Mozillz Firefox, it opens in small screen. I go to view and zoom it larger to fit the desktop. However when I go to Most visited and click on MSN in comes on full screen on my desk top. How can I maintain full screen when I log on.
2. I place items on the tool bar (print) etc. when I close the web site and return the items I have placed on the tool bar are gone. Is there something that I have to do so they stay on permanently?
3. I go games "solitaire" and window wont open. Is there something I have to do?
4. Is a zip file provided with "Ubuntu"?

1) As a shortcut to making firefox fullscreen, you can just press f11. Or alternatively, firefox remembers the window size you used last time, so if you instead use the window resize buttons on the top of your window to maximise the window, rather than going to fullscreen straight away, then you will get roughly the result you want.

3) If you are referring to playing solitare through the browser (ie using MSN), you would be better off using the native solitare program, which will function correctly. The MSN provided version requires a specific version of Adobe flash to function, and may not be in sync with your local flash version (this is true under windows as well.)

4) Zip files are data sources. What data do you want to open? Are you referring to a zip reading program? Is this related to your other question you posted? If so, please keep the information together so others can help you better by posting zip file related questions to the same place. (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/170031)

You can open .zip files by right-clicking on them and clicking Extract Here or Extract To. Is that not working for you?
