Configuring Firefox

Configuring Firefox involves enabling the pop-ups and modifying privacy settings.

Firefox, by default, is configured to accept cookies from websites. If your browser is configured to not accept cookies from sites, you must allow a per-session or permanent exception for cloud.oracle.com and oraclecloud.com. You must also allow Firefox to open pop-up windows from these websites.

To configure Firefox to accept cookies and enable pop-ups:

1. Start Firefox
2. Select Tools, then Options, and then Privacy.
3. Verify the setting in the Firefox will field:

   • If the value is set to Remember history or Never remember history, your browser will use default settings to correctly display the service.

   • If the value is set to Use custom settings for history:

     • Verify that the Accept cookies from sites check box is selected (checked).

     • Click Exceptions, and remove any exception that prevents the following websites from setting cookies:

       • cloud.oracle.com

     If the Accept cookies from sites check box is not selected, complete the following steps:

   1. Click Exceptions.
   2. In Address of web site, enter cloud.oracle.com, and then click either Allow or Allow for session, depending on your privacy policies.
   3. Repeat step 3.b to add oraclecloud.com.
   4. Click Save Changes.
4. Enable pop-up windows from cloud.oracle.com and oraclecloud.com, and, optionally, enable pages to choose their own fonts.
