Browser FAQs Q: Are there considerations for configuring Mozilla browser on a t5515? A: Yes. These are highlighted as follows. • Mail Client: Keep mail on the server and not on the client. Otherwise, the client's free memory space will quickly get used up for mail storage. • Users: Dependent on the number of users and preferences associated with each, memory space needs to be altered to allow proper browser operation for each user/session. Current Partition sizes can be known via the shell command fdisk -l. Q: Why does it take the Mozilla browser so long to launch? A: Mozilla is stored in a compressed format in flash memory until invoked by a user. As a result, the code is decompressed and installed into RAM for use. This can take from 10-15 seconds due to the code file size of Mozilla being very large. 20
