If for some reason you don't know what Firefox is, like you've been living under a rock, it's an excellent alternative to Internet Explorer. It's also the Default web browser in Ubuntu. There are a few minor differences between the Firefox in Windows, that you may be used to, and the Firefox in Ubuntu.

The first thing you may notice is that Tools > Options is not there.

Instead look in Edit > Preferences.

In Firefox 3.6, when you "open link in new tab" (ctrl+click) the "related" tab opens to the immediate right of the current tab, instead of the end of the line as it did in 3.5. Personally, I like this change. If you want to revert to the old way, follow these steps.
