  • Mike adds some detail on these tweaks, which may cause Firefox to run worse in some cases. So, know your tweaks.
• Beginner’s Guide to Firefox
  • If you aren’t using the Firefox browser, you probably should be. Take a look at the beginner’s guide to learn what it’s all about. It’s not flashy, but it will tell you a little bit about the browser. My recommendation, though, would be to just download and install the browser. Just start using it. You’ll likely never look back.

  • OK, it’s meant to be funny. The guy wants to expose creative freeloading schemes, but he mainly seems to think they’re funny. I guess I think it’s funny what people will do, too.
• Chrysalis Snacks

  • Babelfish translation: “The judgement: The Dinger represents a olfaktorsiche challenge right after to opening, because the smell reminds rather of chemical materials as at food.
