Set Camino 1 to be my default browser?
The first time Camino 1 launches, it will ask you if you want to set Camino 1 as your default web browser. If you choose not to set Camino 1 as your default browser then, you can change this setting at a later time by opening the Preferences and using the Default Web Browser drop-down menu in the General preference pane.

Customize the Camino 1 toolbar
You can choose the items that appear in the toolbar. For example, you can add a button which opens your homepage or you can add a button that will open the Download Manager. You can also remove or rearrange the buttons on the toolbar.

1. Choose View >> Customize Toolbar….
2. In the customisation sheet that appears, drag any additional toolbar buttons you want to add (for example, the New Tab button) up over the toolbar and release the mouse to drop the item on the toolbar.
3. If you want to change the locations of other items, just drag them around in the toolbar.
4. To remove an item from the toolbar, simply drag it outside the toolbar and release the mouse button; the item will disappear.
5. To return to the default toolbar, drag the default set (at the bottom of the customisation sheet) to the window’s toolbar.
6. Using the menu and check-box at the bottom of the sheet, you can also choose whether the toolbar is displayed as text and icons, icons only, text only, and full-size or small icons.
7. When you have the toolbar customized to your liking, click the ‘Done’ button to dismiss the customisation sheet.

The following plugins are officially supported by Camino 1:

• Flip4Mac WMV 2.0.1 or later (a QuickTime component), for Windows Media content
• Java Embedding Plugin (bundled with Camino 1), for Java applets
• Macromedia Flash Player 8.0.22 or later, for Flash content
• Macromedia Shockwave Player 10.1.0.11 or later, for Shockwave and Director content
• PDF Browser Plugin 2.2 or later, for Portable Document Format (PDF) content
• QuickTime Player 7.0 or later (included with Mac OS X or available using Mac OS X Software Update), for many media types
• RealOne Player 10.0 or later, for RealMedia content

This list is not exhaustive, and other plugins not listed may work in Camino 1, enabling you to view additional media types. In addition, Camino 1 1.0 contains built-in, cutting-edge SVG support, so no plugin is necessary to view Scalable Vector Graphics content. Windows Media Player for Macintosh and its plugin have been discontinued by Microsoft and are not supported for use with Camino 1; use the Flip4Mac WMV QuickTime component instead.

1. Choose Preferences… from the Camino 1 application menu and open the Appearance preference pane, then select the Fonts tab.
2. Choose the regional language group whose minimum font size you wish to set (for example, Western European or Simplified Chinese) from the Choose fonts for: drop-down menu. (If you regularly read pages from several regional language groups, you will have to repeat the following steps for each language group.)
3. Select the Advanced… button and a sheet will open.
4. To prevent web pages from displaying text smaller than a certain size, set the Minimum font size to the smallest size you can read comfortably.
5. Click the Done button when finished.

Some web pages may not display correctly if you select this option. This setting does not affect the size of text in displayed as images on web pages nor does it affect text in Camino 1’s user interface.

You can also increase or decrease the font size of text on a page-by-page basis either by using the optional toolbar buttons for Bigger Text and Smaller Text or by using the keyboard shortcuts = to increase or - to decrease font size.

Choose Preferences… from the "Camino 1" application menu and open the Tabs preference pane. You can then select the option you prefer, as well as set other tab-related preferences. For more information on these options, see our Documentation on tabbed browsing.

Which language a website should use to display content
Some websites can display web pages in different languages depending on the settings in a user’s browser (for example, the Personal Web Sharing built into Mac OS X does this with its default home pages). Camino 1 automatically determines this setting, known as the “accept-language”, by reading the list of languages in the International preference pane of the System Preferences (Camino 1 Multilingual also uses this list to determine which language to use for Camino 1’s user interface). If the list of languages is “English”, “Français”, and “Español”, Camino 1 will tell websites that use the “accept-language” to display content in English, if available, then French, and, if neither English nor French versions of available, in Spanish. To add new languages to the list, press the “Edit…” button; to change the order of the languages, simply drag them within the list. Camino 1 checks the list for changes on every launch, so the “accept-language” setting is always current.

Camino 1’s automatic determination of the “accept-language” setting based on the list from the System Preferences will be sufficient in most cases. In some instances, however — to work around hidden preference by adding the following line to user.js:

user_pref(“camino.accept_languages”, “ab-cd,ef,gh,ij-kl”);

(Here ab-cd, ef, gh, and ij-kl are languages or regional variants listed in the order a user would prefer, if a website supports the “accept-language” setting.)
