I’m not a Windows user, so I’m not an Internet Explorer user. I have a Hotmail account just so I can chat with friends who only use MSN Messenger.

That’s it!

One of my (very few) frustrations with Firefox is that by default, you can only open a handful of tabs before you have to use the scroll button to access them.
