A Beginners Guide to Firefox

Just a simple "how to" writtten by a geek like us.
"I've recently come to the realization that even though 90% of people come into firefox 100% unaware of some the most impressive features that are available, this trend does not have to continue forever. As a response to this realization I've decided to publish a small how to, that will run through a number of action that I consider interesting and important to do while setting up firefox, as well as covering a number of features that are often left out but can be incredible."

The final word on Firefox

A super initiative Tweakhound! This Guide is very much welcome to the newbie and your excellent guide will contribute to make Firefox even more popular. May I recommend you to include a reference to this link in your extensions section (Chapter 3):

http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/

That would be helpful.

Keep up the good work! Thanks!

Any may be you can include a short introduction to what Firefox is all about:

"Ben Goodger, the man behind Firefox, posted this on his blog recently, and it just says about it all.

Market Dominance:

Netscape had it by being first.
Microsoft has it by being everywhere.
Firefox will have it by being best."

Here the link to Ben Goodger's Weblog: http://www.bengoodger.com/weblog/ie.shtml ;-)))))

Thanks but it isn't my guide. It is from someone that hangs out in the Mozillazine forums. I don't know who he is?!?

Thanks!

but uh... yeah... that's my guide... and I LOVE that I have spelling errors in the intro. /me sighs

I got email from.. I presuem switch today, and figured I should stop by and find out what all the hub-ub was about. So, if you notice anything that you think is lacking, or needs clariffication (coming from the perspective of a new user). Don't be scured, just email me and I'll see what I can do. (address is in the begginners guide intro).

Anyways... I'm glad to hear that it's gettin' around.

Thanks,
Anders

One thing I found by accident where it says :
ctrl - + increases text size
ctrl - - decreases text size
If you hold ctrl while using the scroll wheel it does the same
of course as it says ctrl - 0 returns text to normal

yes... it's true I haven't added in mouse commands yet, such as

middle click to open links in new tabs
ctrl - scroll to increase/decrease text size
ctrl - click to open links in new tabs

that might be the end of my knowledge of mouse commands though

Anders

[edit] I've now added those in [/edit]
