Firefox Optimization Instructions

  This walkthough was created using FireFox v3.6.13 as a guide, however alternate versions of the
  browser will be very similar in procedure as well.

  1. Within FireFox, select "Tools" from the menu at the top of the screen, and then in the resulting
  drop-down menu select "Options".

  

 

  3. In the "Options" window click on the "Advanced" icon. Select the "Network" tab and clear the
  browser's temporary cache by clicking on the "Clear Now" button.

  

 

  5. Next click on the "Content" icon.

  Please ensure that the "Enable JavaScript" option is checked.

  

 

  7. If "Block Popup Windows" is checked, please click on the "Exceptions" button.

  

 

  8. In the "Allowed Sites" window, add skillport.com and click on the "Allow" button.

  Please repeat the same steps to also add skillwsa.com.

  After both sites have been successfully added, you may close the window by clicking on the "Close" button.

  

 

  7. This concludes the optimization of the FireFox web browser.

  Please click on the "OK" button to return to the main web browser window.

 

 Clearing the Java cache.

  Next we will clear the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) temporary cache.

 1. Access the Windows Control Panel on your computer. Click on "Start > Settings > Control Panel".

  

 

  2. Once in the Control Panel, locate the "Java" icon and open it.

  

 

  3. On the "General" tab click the "Settings"button under the "Temporary Internet Files" heading.

  

 

  4. In the new window click the "Delete Files..."button.

  

  In the new window ensure that both options are selected, and then click "OK".
  This process may take a few minutes to complete.

  

  Click the "OK" button two more times to close out of the Java Control Panel window.

 

  This concludes the optimization of the Firefox web browser and the Java Runtime Environment.
