• The browser
The Escalador Audio is made to be used only on Firefox. Other browsers will not work.
We recommend to use the last version of Firefox.
• The localStorage
LocalStorage is necessary to used correctly the Escalador Audio.
We recommend to make a test of localStorage here before buying the Escalador software.
If you see that: … characters were stored successfully… (see below), it means that localStorage is working fine on your Firefox browser, and you can use Escalador Audio.
You can use about:config on Firefox to see (and change if you like) the default quota for localStorage
The maximum possible number is 2147483647. We recommend to put this value is you plan to use several Escalador Audio windows.
• Plugin:
We recommend the use of Clear Browsing Data
We recommend to choose this preferences:

It is a good practice to clear the cache periodically
• Disable “Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs”
It is very important NOT to click on the “Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs” square button because Escalador Audio needs this window to work properly.
But you can disable this message to be showed, for example, to prevent accidental clicking this square button.
To do so:
• 1 Enter about:config into the url field of Firefox
• 2 Search for dom.succesive_dialog_time_limit
• 3 Click the Number radio button
• 4 Put -1 (or 0) on the field and click the blue button
Now we can see the window but without the radio button.
• For Cookies and Site Data:
If you want to preserve the Escalador Audio’s Windows Guides positions, you have to leave unclicked the Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed square button
• Concerning the Block pop-up windows
Escalador Audio uses pop-up Windows
Solution 1: Do not click the square button for pop-up windows
• Solution 2: (If you do not want to use pop-up windows with Firefox) click the Block pop-up windows square button
Then, click the Exceptions button (on the right) and allow the Escalador Audio URL
