Using Chatzilla Full TutorialHey do you use Mozilla Firefox? If you do, there's a great add-on/extension called chatzilla! It's a clean, easy to use and highly extensible Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client. It's extremely easy to use whether or not you have experience with IRC.
=====
First off, if you don't have it already, I recommend you download Firefox. It's a much faster, safer, and customizable web browser than it's rival Internet Explorer.

Once you have it downloaded, download the chatzilla add-on.

Add to Firefox, and then click Install Now.
After installing you will need to restart Firefox for the add-on to be installed, and possibly another for the add-on to be enabled.
=====
Once you have it installed and enabled, click tools and chatzilla.

Chatzilla will open up, and once you connect using irc.sythe.org as a server, the same IRC commands apply as if you were using any other client.
Some people have been required to type "/server irc.sythe.org"
Your first time connecting, you should see this:
You will need to choose a nick, or the name that will be displayed when you speak. To do this, simply type /nick YOURNICK. Ex: /nick Eric. You will need to pick a unregistered nick to speak in most channels. If you nick you have chosen is taken already, you will see this message:
Once you choose a nick that isn't taken, you'll have to register. To Register on the IRC, type /msg NickServ register yourpasswordhere YOUREMAILHERE. Then you'll be given a confirmation code in your e-mail, so put a valid e-mail. Then type that in the server box, and you'll be ready.
