Keyboard shortcut questions - browser tab switching?

[.Logan]

My MBP arrived today, and I'm in love! Having always used Windows exclusively before this day I'm still getting the hang out of things:

1. In windows in a browser if you have tabs CTRL + tab switches between them, how do I do this on the Mac?

2. When I download software, like Firefox or Flash Player there is still the "installer stub" on the desktop, can I drag those to the trash after I have finished installing them? (application installation is so odd on a Mac).

3. Is there a quick key command to minimize all applications to show the desktop and key to return it back to normal?

4. I installed Firefox, but I don't see it in the application folder on the dock... but if I go to Finder --> Applications, it's there?

All for now! Thanks so much.

1. It is the same in Safari and Mac OS X: CTRL+TAB

2. Yes, you can eject the mounted disk image (DMG) visible on the Desktop via CMD+E or dragging it to the Trash icon.
Installing Applications in Mac OS X

3. System Preferences > Exposé & Spaces / Mission Control >> Active Screen Corners or >> Mouse Buttons

4. If it is in the actual Applications folder, then it will also show up in the Applications folder shortcut on the Dock.

Said before.
Control+tab moves selection to the right.
Control+shift+tab moves selection to the left.

F11. On the MBP internal keyboard you'll also need to hold Fn or else you'll just reduce the volume.
