## About Your IE Settings

&brandShortName; has a new feature that imports your existing settings from Internet Explorer. It will run when you first install &brandShortName; (and is also available later through File > Import), and it attempts to import your IE Favorites, cookies, stored passwords, and a variety of other data. This saves you time customizing &brandShortName; to fit your needs.

## &brandShortName;'s Features

- Tabbed Browsing: Instead of opening a separate browser window for each site you want to visit, you can open multiple sites within the same window and tab between them. You can also set a group of tabs as your home page.
- Pop-up Window Controls: Lets you allow or suppress both popup and popunder windows.
- Profile Manager: Create, edit, or delete profiles, each with its own bookmarks, options, and browsing data. This is useful if you must share &brandShortName; on the same computer with other people, or if you want to keep your work and personal settings separate.
- Cookie Manager: Lets you change what &brandShortName; will do when accepting cookies.
- Download Manager: Organizes your downloads by storing them in a single window to minimize clutter. You have full access to download statistics without using unnecessary multiple windows for each download.
- Image Manager: Enables you to disable images from certain Web sites or disable them altogether. This is useful if you wish to decrease the amount of time it takes for Web sites to load.

## Keyboard Shortcuts

You will notice that Microsoft Internet Explorer and &brandShortName; share many of the same shortcut keys. For a full list of shortcut keys, see the List of &brandShortName; Keyboard Shortcuts.
