Thanks for contributing. Just a couple of corrections:

The article, which seems to be undated, recommends Adblocker Plus to
suppress ads in Firefox. I second that recommendation, but note that
recent updates changed the defaults so that "good" ads are by default
not blocked. To continue blocking all ads you have to go into the
Adblocker Plus Options » Filter Preferences.

The article also recommends installing an extra piece of software to
print only what you want. This is unnecessary with Firefox; you can
select what you want to print with the mouse and then click
"Selection" in Firefox's Print dialog.

I subscribe to the print edition, those are in the most recent edition.
