HOW TO USE MOZILLA WITH GUMAIL: INSTALLING MOZILLA

  1. You can get the Mozilla Web browser from the UIS Software Database; download the installation file to your computer.
  1. Double Click the Mozilla installation file.
  1. This will bring up a Welcome window; Click on the Next button.
  1. You'll be asked what type of setup you want.
  1. Click on Complete (a black dot should appear next to it). Click on the Next button.
  1. When asked if you want to create a directory, Click on the Yes button.
  1. You'll be asked if you want to activate Quick Launch.

  1. If Netscape is installed on your computer (if you are using a Georgetown University computer, it probably is), you'll be asked if you want to base your new Mozilla profile on your existing Netscape profile.

  • If Netscape is set up to use GUMail, and you are sharing your computer with other Netscape users: Click on the Manage Profiles button, Click on the profile with your NetID to select it, then Click on the Start Mozilla button.
  • If Netscape is set up to use GUMail, and you have just one profile on your computer: Click on the Convert Profile button.
  • If Netscape is not set up to use GUMail: Click on the Manage Profiles button, Click on the Create Profile button, Click on the Next button, Click on the Finish button, then Click on the Start Mozilla button.
  1. When the installation is finished, you'll be asked if you want to make Mozilla your default browser.

  1. The choice is yours; Click the Yes or No button and the installation will be complete.
