ChatZilla HowTo

Read the ChatZilla FAQ. They're also developing some pretty neat documentation at this FAQ. And if you have questions, you can join #chatzilla at irc.mozilla.org for help over IRC (poetic justice!).

To join the channel automatically on startup, right-click on the channel tab and click Open This Channel at Startup.

To set it up so that you're automatically identified when you join the network, use these instructions:

1. ChatZilla → Preferences. On the side menu, you'll see a list of networks to which you've connected. Select irc.freenode.net.
2. Click the Lists tab. You'll see an area where you can set commands to auto-perform. Hit Add.
3. Enter the following. Do not put the backslash, and replace <password> with your actual password:

   msg nickserv identify <password>

   

4. Hit OK. When you join the network, ChatZilla will now automatically identify you.
