These settings make the user interface quicker to use and more helpful.

Some settings are particularly useful for visually or physically challenged people.

Mouse

Disable mouse gestures to avoid performing them unintentionally.

The multiple choice menu appearing when double-clicking words in Web pages can be disabled if you would rather right-click to get the menu.

If you are left-handed, you may want to swap the order of mouse gestures involving both mouse buttons.

List items, like in Preferences and the Hotlist, can be underlined when hovered with your mouse.

When entering Web addresses or e-mail addresses, addresses entered earlier are displayed in a drop-down menu, to save you from repeated typing.

When using the keyboard to navigate page elements, the active element can be inverted or framed.

Turn on screen-reader compatability if you have impaired vision and use screen reader software.

Tooltips pop up with useful information when you point your mouse to different things, both in Web pages and in the user interface.
