only thing that pisses me off about it is when i open a new window, it goes to my homepage in the new window and not to the page that im viewing at that time.

you can change that in options.

if you just got it, i would suggest you looking at the extensions page for it on the firefox website, and download all the ones you like...

right click on all the links and then "Open in new tab" The tabbed browsing is the best part. Also you can customize the buttons up on top. I have a new tab button. ctrl t or command t also makes a new tab. Basically tabs are the shit.

hitting f brings up a bar that lets you search the page you are on right now. internet explorer has this to but Mozilla's will tell you if its on there as you type

Use the scroll thing on your mouse as a button and click on a link and the link opens as a new tab. crt t also opens new tabs. The best thing about firefox though is just how fast and easy it is to use.

Firefox is awesome. i can't stand using IE anymore. It jsut seems tor un so much smoother and the tabs are definately useful. It also has better pop-up blockage and stuff.
