Yes, I'm late. I've finally decided to make the switch lol. Youtube gets some credit for my decision since it randomly doesnt work sometimes and gives me this message each time I go on:
QUOTE
We will be phasing out support for your browser soon.
Please upgrade to one of these more modern browsers.

Like rude much. I find that to be rather offensive.

But on more serious terms, are there any tips you veteran firefox users can give me that might come in handy? Like which add-ons are important/useful for example. I went on the help site and it has like loads and loads of info, I dont even know where to start so I thought it would be better to ask real people with experience who can skip the advertising and get straight to the facts. Also, I'm a keyboard shortcuts fanatic, so if you know any unique ones please post, I know all of the basics. Thanx^^

I give my sincerest apologies if anything that I have mentioned in a post or image by me or relating to me, any word, ASCII character, vowel or constant is to be considered offensive in your native tongue. If it is, remember you're on the internet.

I think Ctrl + W closes one tab. There are plugins you can download to close tabs actually. icon_razz.gif
