<li><b>NB</b> when you request the body of an annotation, you will be asked for your user name and password again, this is because the body of the annotation is retrieved by a different mechanism. You can use Password Manager to remember the values here though. |

<li>If you are using the W3C test server, then you can probably find some annotations attached to <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/Annotea/">the Annotea page</a>. |

|
<li>You can also configure: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>whether the annotations, when you select them, appear in an area in the sidebar, or in a new browser window |
|
<li>whether to (a) try to determine the text that the annotation applies to, and (b) insert an icon in the main browser window to indicate the annotation. |
|
<li>whether to load annotation bodies in an area of the sidebar, or in a new window |
</ul> |
</ul> |
|
<li>For languages, the options are these: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>You can specify "only view annotations in my preferred language". This only |
|
affects annotations which have a language specified. |
|
<li>You can decide whether or not to view annotations without any language information specified. (At the moment only Annozilla specifies the language of annotations). |

<h2><a name="prefs"></a>Setting your preferences manually</h2> |
|
<p>If you can't use the preferences window because your Mozilla build is |
|
incompatible with your Annozilla build, you can set your preferences manually |
|
if you know how to find your <b>prefs.js</b> file. Just edit the file (while |
|
Mozilla is shut down) and add the following lines:</p> |
|
<pre> |
|
user_pref("annozilla.annotationAuthor", "[your full name]"); |
|
user_pref("annozilla.annotationAutoLoad", false); |
|
user_pref("annozilla.annotationInsertIcons", false); |
|
user_pref("annozilla.annotationLoadInNewWindow", true); |
|
user_pref("annozilla.annotationPassword", "[your password]"); |
|
user_pref("annozilla.annotationServer", "[annotation server]"); |
|
user_pref("annozilla.annotationUser", "[your user account]"); |
