Learning Your Way Around Firefox

After you've got Firefox installed, you need to take a quick tour of the Firefox screen and learn your way around. Figure 1-4 shows the Firefox screen.

As you can see in Figure 1-4, Firefox is refreshingly clear and simple. You won't, however, have to get used to a completely new screen design. In fact, many of the menu commands and keyboard shortcuts are similar to those you're probably already used to. See Appendix A, "Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts for Firefox," and Appendix C, "Menu Commands for Firefox," for more information.
