The Side Bar
By default a side bar is displayed on the left of the main display panel. This side bar contains some of the functions which we have discussed above from the main menu bar at the top. These include the Search, Bookmarks and History functions. The side bar also contains the “What's Related” function, which when selected will display in the side bar a list of links to webpages which contain similar topics to the page currently being displayed in the main browsing display area.
The side bar can be turned on/off by selecting from the main menu at the top,
View --> Show/Hide --> Sidebar
The Main Display Panel
This is the area where the contents of a web page are rendered and displayed. This display area can be made full screen by either selecting the View --> Full Screen selection from the top menu bar or pressing the F11 key. To disable full screen display either press F11 again or click on the unmaximise window button on the top right corner of the menu bar.
Navigation Tab Bar
Mozilla Navigator allows you to browse multiple websites within one browser window using navigational tabs. This overcomes the inconvenience of opening several windows under Mozilla to view multiple sites. To do this either choose under the menu bar:
File --> New --> Navigator Tab
or enter CONTROL-T.
If you open different web pages using this navigation tab feature, they will all be displayed under the same window. You can then use the tab bar to select between each tab screen.
