About Displaying Content | |

· | Images will be displayed as icons if there is insufficient memory, even when NetFront supports the image format. |
· | To display specific pages ("Enter Address", "Bookmark", "Page Memo", "File", "History", "NetFront Settings") on an enlarged browsing screen, the screen size is automatically reduced.
