following is what was intended to be covered, but instead tried to go over things similar to was
was done earlier on Jan 15th.

Some rather popular things that you do not want to do

Watch out for suggestions to do searches directly from the Location Bar, which could make you more vunerable to phishing sites,
you should use Keyword Shortcuts instead from the Location Bar
Watch out for any suggested usage in Firefox of Middle-click whether builtin or extensions,
you should assign the mouse wheel button to ENTER via the Control Panel (Display).

A fairly decent introduction to Firefox in a University of Bristol Word Document
   http://www.bristol.ac.uk/is/learning/documentation/firefox-t1/firefox-t1.doc
ignore searching directly from the Location Bar, rather you want to use a Keyword
Shortcut.
   Split using HTML --   acgnj_tabs:   (look up in what was Organize bookmarks, and will be Library)

   "Split Browser" extension   : splitbrowser
     available from context of unopen/open tab
     available by dragging to target popout areas.

     about:config on left
     aboutconfig: on right    http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries
       or moz: (search)        mozilla.org OR mozillazine.org     (keyword search)

Add Scrollbars to Menu, bookmarks, context menu via userChrome.css

/* Scrollbar Context Menu, http://userstyles.org/style/show/54 */
#contentAreaContextMenu,
 #contentAreaContextMenu menupopup {
 max-height: 600px; /* or any height you specify */ }
#contentAreaContextMenu autorepeatbutton {display: none;}
#contentAreaContextMenu scrollbox {overflow-y: auto;}

/* Scrollbar Bookmarks Menu, http://userstyles.org/style/show/56 */
#bookmarks-menu menupopup, #personal-bookmarks menupopup {
 max-height: 600px; /* or any height you specify */}
#bookmarks-menu autorepeatbutton,
 #personal-bookmarks autorepeatbutton {display: none;}
#bookmarks-menu scrollbox,
 #personal-bookmarks scrollbox {overflow-y: auto;}

/* Scrollbar Menu, http://userstyles.org/style/show/52 */
menupopup { max-height: 600px; /* or any height you want */}
menupopup autorepeatbutton { display: none;}
menupopup scrollbox { overflow-y: auto;

This is what I do to remove temporary files, but it is intended for use/modification by very experienced users as simple mistakes could delete everything on your hard drive. CLEARTEMP.BAT

del C:\"Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp"\*.* /s /q /f
del c:\"Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"\*.* /s /q /f
del c:\temporary\firefox_cache\*.* /s /q /f
