author. Disabling this &pref.singular; will force all sites to use your
default colors instead.</p>
<h3 id="file_types">File Types</h3>
<p>The Download Actions dialog, which can be opened by clicking the
<em>Manage...</em> button, contains file types that you have downloaded.
You can choose what &brandShortName; should do when clicking on a specific
file type by selecting the file type you want to modify and clicking the
<em>Change Action...</em> button.</p>
<p>This will display the Download Actions dialog, where you can choose to have
the file type opened by the default application, opened by a particular
application, saved to disk, or shown with an installed plugin. For example,
if you view lots of media files on web pages, you might want to specify that
&brandShortName; always open media files in your media player instead of
asking where you want each media file to be saved.</p>
<h2 id="applications_options">Applications &pref.pluralCaps;</h2>
<ul>
<li><em>Open them with the default application:</em><br/>
Select this &pref.singular; to open this file type in the default
application for that file type (determined by the operating system).</li>
<li><em>Open them with this application:</em><br/>
Select this &pref.singular; to specify another application that should
handle this file type. You will see a dialog asking you to specify the
application to use.</li>
<li><em>Save them on my computer:</em><br/>
This &pref.singular; will save the files to disk (automatically if you
have selected the <em>Save files to</em> &pref.singular; in the
<em>Main</em> panel).</li>
<li><em>Use this Plugin:</em><br/>
Select this &pref.singular; to let a plugin handle this file type.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <em>Applications</em> panel lets you choose applications and other
handlers to handle different types of content (e.g. PDF documents). It shows
you a list of content types and lets you select a handler for each type.</p>
<p>You can choose a local application to handle any type. For some types,
you can also choose a web application to handle the type, choose a feature
(like <a href="glossary.xhtml#live_bookmark">Live Bookmarks</a> for feeds)
or a <a href="glossary.xhtml#Plugin">plugin</a> in &brandShortName; to handle
the type, or save the type on your computer.</p>
<h2 id="feeds_options">Feeds &pref.pluralCaps;</h2>
<p>Feeds are specially formatted documents which summarize the content of web
sites. For example, a feed might summarize the latest news headlines from a
news site or the latest posts on a blog. You can view the content of feeds in
&brandShortName;, create Live Bookmarks for them, or add them to a feed reader
on your computer or on the Web. The &pref.plural; in this pane determine what
&brandShortName; does when you view a feed.</p>
<p>To choose a handler for a type, select the type from the list. The current
handler for the type will turn into a menu. Open the menu and select the
handler you want to handle the type.</p>
<p><em>Show me a preview and ask me which Feed Reader to use</em><br/>
When you view a feed within &brandShortName;, you will be shown a preview of
its contents. With this &pref.singular; selected, you are always given a
choice of what you would like to use to subscribe to the feed at the top of
the preview page.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Choose an application</em><br/>
To choose a local or web application to handle a type, select the application
from the menu. If you want a local application that is not in the menu
to handle the type, select <em>Choose Application...</em> from the menu
and point &brandShortName; to its location.</li>
<p><em>Subscribe to the feed using</em><br/>
Instead of displaying a preview of the feed when you view one, you can have
the feed be opened directly in a feed reader by selecting a reader from the
list of available readers. You can choose to use an application on your
computer to subscribe to feeds by clicking the <em>Choose Application...</em>
button and finding the application on your computer. Alternately, you can
choose to automatically subscribe to feeds by saving them as Live Bookmarks.
To choose a subscription method, simply select it from the list.</p>
<li><em>Choose a feature or plugin</em><br/>
If you want a feature or a plugin in &brandShortName; to handle the type,
and one is available, select it from the menu.</li>
<li><em>Save on your computer</em><br/>
If you want to save the type on your computer, and it is possible to do so,
select <em>Save File</em> from the menu. If you have selected the <em>Save
files to</em> &pref.singular; in the <em>Main</em> panel, &brandShortName;
will save content of the type on your computer automatically. Otherwise,
when you encounter the type, &brandShortName; will prompt you for a location
on your computer to save it to.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> When a plugin is available to handle a type, and you
choose another handler to handle that type, &brandShortName; will only use
your chosen handler when you access the type directly. When the type is
embedded inside a web page, &brandShortName; will continue to use the plugin
to handle the type.</p>
