4. It's like every page I read is now 30% larger than before
I had no idea that the ads took up so much space! Who knows how much consumerist goodness I've been absorbing all these years?!?

9. FireFox was not always good.
You have probably discovered it at a good time.

11. Now it's time to learn your keyboard shortcuts
http://www.lesliefranke.com/files/reference/firefoxcheatsheet.html

The ones I use most:
Ctrl + T (open new tab)
Ctrl + W (close tab)
Ctrl + PgUp (move to next tab)
Ctrl + PgDn (move to prev tab)
Alt + Left Arrow (back)
Alt + Right Arrow (forward)

13. We did it for your own good. Admit it: you know you weren't ready.
If we had tried to unhook you from the Matrix too soon,
you would have FOUGHT us.

14. Now get the IE tab add on.
Useful for two things:

-Opening things that don't work well in firefox in IE without having to actually open IE.

-If you leave IE signed out of DU, it's an easy way to read things involving people on ignore if your curiosity gets the best of you.

15. Sorry, there's still a persistent myth that IE is actually a useful browser.
I thought the word was out.
