Good afternoon, dear subscribers and readers of the blog site, earlier I told you how to reset your browser settings to default, but I forgot to tell you where these same settings are on your computer and today I will fix it. And so the topic of the note will be where the browser settings are stored.

What browsers will we talk about today, let's list them

• Google Chrome
• Opera
• Mozilla FireFox
• Yandex browser
• Internet Explorer

Why do you need this at all? Knowing where browser settings are stored in Windows, you can always transfer them to another computer or device. Many times during my admin era I came across a situation where when a user reinstalled the system, he suddenly remembered the new system that he doesn’t have his browser plugins and bookmarks here, you tell him you didn’t ask to do this and you were asked, you didn’t forget anything, but he, well, you’re the admin yourself should have guessed :), so that you don’t have to guess, we read below. I also want to draw your attention to how to save your Skype history, which will also be useful to you.

Google Chrome settings are stored on your computer in this path. The example in question is Windows 8.1, but in 7 or 10 everything will be the same.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

In the Default folder you will find all the settings, for example the Bookmarks file is your bookmarks, below there are them backup copy. The Extensions folder contains all of your installed extensions. The History file contains all of your history. Useful for security professionals, download this file and study it later. I think with storage Google settings Chrome is clear.

Let's move on to figure out where browser settings are stored in Windows and Opera is next in line. Quite an old surfer on the Internet, but recently they breathed into him new life, the versions come out like nuts, I liked the old one better, but that’s not what we’re talking about today.

Opera Settings are located along this path.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable

Here you also see Opera bookmarks, this is the Bookmarks file, and the browser history is also located in the Hystory file. Here you will find a folder of extensions and themes.

The program itself is installed along the path

C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera

As one character from my childhood said, let's continue the conversation.

Let's figure out where the red fox stores its settings, or according to the correct Firefox.

For Windows XP this is the way

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

For modern operating systems that way

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

There will be a data structure like this

Where are internet explorer settings stored?

Not my favorite browser, but it’s still hard to imagine banking and electronic clients without it. trading platforms. And in general, Microsoft is already burying it, inviting everyone to use the new Edge. Like other MS, it doesn’t store everything in one place, for example, the history lies along this path

The settings themselves are located at this address

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Where are Yandex browser settings stored?

Yandex puts all its settings in a folder, so when transferring it to another computer, we copy it.

C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data

Tor browser does not store anything as such, but if there is anything, it is in the folder along with boot file, I have the Portable version, it does not store anything. I hope you now know where all the parameters and settings of the browsers you need are located.

How to restore menu bar in internet explorer browser and got the best answer

Answer from RiF[guru]
IN Internet browser Explorer (as well as in Mozilla Firefox, Opera) you need to successively click on the “View” button on the toolbar, in the menu that opens on the “Toolbar”. A submenu will open with " Regular buttons", "Address bar", "Links" if "Yandex. Bar", "[email protected]", "Google Toolbar", etc., "Settings" (for Mozilla & Opera: Main panel, Address panel, etc.). On all installed elements the menu has a check mark. If menu items do not have check marks, they are not checked on the toolbar. To install them, click on one, several or all links that do not have a checkmark, then the corresponding element (or toolbar) will appear. For example. If you click on the "Regular Buttons" buttons will appear for "Forward", "Back", "Stop", "Refresh", "Home", etc. If you click on the "Address Bar" link, the Address Bar will appear on the toolbar. Similarly, “Yandex.Bar”, “[email protected]”, “Google Toolbar”, etc. are added. If you click on “Settings”, you can add or remove buttons from the toolbar.

Hello! Here is a selection of topics with answers to your question: How to restore the menu bar in the Internet Explorer browser

A browser is an application with which the user can surf the Internet. Regardless of which browser is installed on a particular computer, it has a menu that allows you to perform various actions, change settings and appearance program windows.

Instructions

Greetings, dear readers. Today our topic will be devoted, as always, to a rather pressing issue. It will be useful to adherents of such an Internet browser as Mazila Firefox. So, let's talk about where the browser's "Menu Bar" disappears, and how to return it to its original place.

A little background. Users began to be puzzled by this question when they updated their version of Chanterelle to the fourth. for Firefox is no longer displayed. Because of this, many began to panic. But I hasten to please you. The developers did not pursue this goal. First of all, this was done so that the area in which the content of the pages is reflected becomes larger, and you have to turn the wheel of your manipulator less. This innovation was not invented. It has been in Opera, Safari and Chrome for a long time.

Immediately, various forums were filled with questions: how to configure the browser in the new version? And everything is elementary. Where the browser's "Menu Bar" was previously located, there is now another, very small one, which contains all the necessary functions. If you go there, you will have access to “Bookmarks”, “Add-ons”, “Downloads”, “Journal”, “Saving pages” and other popular sections.

But if you want to change the scale, look and choose an encoding, or need to use the preview, you can still do it all. The browser's "menu bar" never disappeared. It's just that, starting from the fourth version, it is hidden by default. If desired, all this can be easily returned. If you need it, right-click the manipulator in an empty area (I always do this to the right of the open tabs), and then check the box next to the "Menu Bar" item.

But it’s fair to say that we don’t really need the browser’s “Menu Bar”. Firstly, it’s much more convenient to view pages. Secondly, you can use one hotkey combination that works not only in Chanterelle, but also in any Microsoft applications equipped with a menu. The Alt button on the keyboard brings up the menu, and if you press it in combination with other keys, then you may not need the mouse at all. In almost all programs, opposite each menu item there is a button that, in combination with Alt, opens a specific section.

And since we are talking about the mouse, I would like to advise you to disable the startup of your machine when it is in standby or sleep mode, using the mouse. Because in this case, switching on may occur accidentally and at the wrong time.

Of course, each user decides for himself whether he should have a menu bar in his browser or not. But before you make your final decision, think carefully about whether you really need it so much to sacrifice useful area window. After all, enter necessary settings sometimes just once is enough. And many of them can be called up using a shortened menu. People work in others no less popular browsers, such as Chrome, Safari and so on. Maybe it’s really worth removing this panel and getting more usable space?

A browser is an application with which the user can surf the Internet. Regardless of which browser is installed on a particular computer, it has a menu that allows you to perform various actions, change settings and the appearance of the program window.

Instructions

How can I find the browser menu?

Master's answer:

A browser is a device that allows the user to surf the Internet effectively. Regardless of what type of browser a particular computer is equipped with, it is necessarily equipped with a menu that allows you to perform various actions, change existing settings and the appearance of the program window.

If the browser is running in full screen mode, you will immediately understand this. Only the selected Internet page will be displayed on the monitor screen. There are several ways to exit this mode.

Place your mouse cursor at the top of the screen and wait until the menu bar moves down. Use your mouse and right-click on it. In the context menu that opens, click on the “Exit full-screen mode” option.

If the drop-down menu does not have this command, use a combination of two keys: “Enter” and “Alt”. This way you can switch to full screen mode and back in many programs. In addition, there are browsers that allow you to change the mode using the “F11” key.

As soon as the panel stops “hiding” and becomes accessible, right-click on it. The context menu that opens will prompt you to select the “Menu Bar” or “Menu Option” option (the wording is determined by the type of browser installed). Mark it with a marker.

If you did everything correctly, standard menu items will open in the browser window. The “File” option is designed to manage the program window; it allows you to open or, conversely, close various tabs and new windows. With its help, you can easily print the Internet page you need.

The “Edit” item contains all the standard commands: “Find”, “Copy”, “Cut”, “Paste”. In fact, this option is practically no different from similar items in other programs. The “View” item speaks for itself. It is quite natural that it is he who is responsible for the appearance of the browser window.

To gain the necessary access to previously saved resources, you can use the “Bookmarks” or “Favorites” option. Menus such as “Tools” and “Service” will become indispensable assistants when customizing your browser to suit your needs.

You probably noticed that the panel contains more than just these tools. For example, there is a “Status Bar”, “Navigation Bar”, “Favorites” panel and others. In order for them to be permanently displayed on the panel, move the mouse cursor to it and right-click. Using a marker, select the items that you may need for your work.

After installing this program, it is important to configure all the parameters for yourself, so that later it will be convenient to use. You should do the same when installing any other program, in particular a web browser.

So, now we will look in detail at how to configure the Yandex browser, disable unnecessary functions and optimize the interface, change the appearance, enable additional features and so on.

Yandex browser settings

How to open the settings panel:

The Yandex settings panel will open, where everything needs to be changed. It is better to change some of the parameters immediately after installing the browser. And the rest can be customized as needed. Now let's figure it all out.

Synchronization

What is synchronization in principle?

In our case, if you click on the “Set up synchronization” button, you will be able to transfer all your bookmarks, passwords, browsing history and other parameters to any device.

As Yandex itself writes, you need to log in.

When you click Set Up Sync, a message will appear:

You want to sync all your settings, bookmarks, passwords and other browser data using your account:

If you have not yet logged into your account, a panel will appear for entering your Yandex mail login and password.

In the next step, you need to click “Enable synchronization”, and after that, if you wish, you can Enable Disk.

A message appears:

Ready! In a moment, your Disk will start. Save images and other files from the Internet directly to Disk with the right mouse button - and you will never lose them again.

I won’t describe each individual element, since everything is elementary.

Show bookmarks bar

If you often save pages in order to use them in the future, then it would be logical to select the “Always” or “Only on Tableau” setting.

Search

Install search engine, which will be used in the Yandex browser. By default, of course, Yandex search is installed. But you can choose Goggle, Mail.Ru, Wikipedia or DuckDuckGo.

Open at startup

I talked about this in the article. But it’s not difficult for me to repeat.

Many users close the browser without first closing open tabs. After the next launch of the web browser, these tabs are restored or not restored, depending on the selected settings.

For example, I checked the “Previously opened tabs” checkbox, because I don’t want to bother with restoring them manually.

When closing a tab

When you close a tab, where do you go after this action?

Can choose:

• I get to the last active tab;
• I get to the next tab.

Tabs position

Actually, I didn't go into detailed settings browsers. Right now with you, and maybe you already know. I learned that open website tabs can be located not only horizontally at the top of the web browser, but also at the bottom.

Minimum tab size

If you select small ones, then when 20 pages are open, all tabs will decrease in width and all of them will be visible in the top or bottom panel.

By selecting “Large”, the tabs will remain standard in width and an arrow to the right will appear, allowing you to scroll through.

Notifications

The next section is “Notifications”. You can immediately click “Turn off all notifications for 3 hours” and nothing will bother you for 180 minutes.

What kind of notifications are we talking about?

To figure this out, click “Configure notifications...”. My Yandex mail and VKontakte account are displayed. That is, we regulate notifications in those accounts that are open in the browser.

User Profiles

I think that you have used not only the Yandex browser, but also many others, Opera, Mozilla, Chrome, etc. So, in order to switch to the Yandex browser and transfer all the bookmarks that were on another web browser, in order to maintain the familiar environment, you need to click on the “Import bookmarks and settings” button. Read more about data transfer in the article:

Opera, of course, is not Yandex, but the situation is similar and you can draw parallels.

The “Add profile” button allows you to create a new account. And by clicking on “Delete profile” you will violate the synchronization parameters.

Default browser

This setting is familiar to many; it sometimes appears in the dialog box of some browsers. Previously, for example, I always had Internet Explorer by default. And now, probably, too.

By default means that when you open a web file, you have not chosen which program to launch with, the Yandex browser will launch.

Turbo

In the settings, the option to automatically turn on turbo mode when the connection is slow is always working. You can, if you wish, remove it or enable it on a permanent basis, and not just when your Internet connection is slow.

Work with the basic settings is completed. Now you can open the section additional settings. And change them as necessary.

Personal data

Before the settings there is a message:

The browser can use various web services that make browsing the Internet easier. If you don't need these features, you can disable them.

As I understand it, setting up personal data allows you to clear your browsing history, block ads, show hints, and interact with Yandex when failures are detected.

Passwords and forms

IN basic settings The browser offers to remember entered passwords on certain sites, thereby simplifying your access to many accounts. But the level of security is greatly reduced. If the computer is not only for your use, then uncheck all the options. Not long ago there was a release, .

Context menu

Yandex is a giant company and its developers have taken care of convenient interface, allowing you to receive information immediately.

In general, look what a cool feature the Yandex browser has:

• Highlight the word or sentence you are interested in;
• Click on the down arrow next to the “Find in Yandex” and “Copy” buttons.
• Information on the selected fragment will appear in the drop-down context menu. That is, what would be displayed if this query were entered into a search engine will be displayed.

For this function to remain, you must check the following boxes:

1. “Show when the “Find” and “Copy” buttons are selected”;
2. “Show Yandex quick replies.”

Important! The second point does not work without the first.

Web Content

This settings block allows you to adjust the font size and page scale.

Leave other points unchanged, they will come in handy.

Network, languages ​​and region

Yandex Browser uses the proxy server settings installed on your device to connect to the network.

Proxy—server- first of all, it is remote server, when connecting the computer to proxy, it becomes a kind of intermediary between your computer and the Internet.

The browser interface automatically uses the primary language of your operating system.
