[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1416800, member: 89124"] Hi, welcome to the forums! Safari will open a pdf right within the browser window. Firefox you need to get the firefox PDF plugin for OSX ( [url]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdf-plugin-for-firefox-on-mac-/[/url] ) . The scrolling can be reversed back to "normal" in the System Preferences for the mouse. To quit an application either press Command+Q or in the application menu (i.e.: firefox at the top drop down) select Quit Firefox You know you've quit if on the dock there is either no icon for the application (if it wasn't in the dock to begin with) or if it's normally in the dock there is no little indicator light below the icon (see the finder icon for an example). You can reassign keys although it's really better to just get used to how things are done on a Mac rather then trying to get it to work like windows :) [/QUOTE]
