New to Mac, few questions

[jmaverick101]

New to Mac, just bough Mac Pro 17". First I installed Firefox. In PC I hit control + T and I open up a new tab or I right click on a link and I can choose to open it in a new tab or window. How do I do this with Mac.

Also the Mac came with a two prong plug and a three prong. Whats the difference.

Most shortcuts you use at Windows with Control, you use Command on a Mac instead.
Examples:
Control-T --> Command-T -- Open new tab.
Control-C --> Command-C -- Copy.
Control-V --> Command-V -- Paste.
etc...

Command key is this at your keyboard, just right between the ALT/Option and spacebar: ⌘

Also, Google says this about your plugs:

I can't relate to it since I have an European charger. It's different.

Use cmd, not ctrl. Remember that clicking the red X doesn't close the application, only the window. To properly quit, hit cmd-q.

The two prong isn't grounded and is shorter. The 3 prong is grounded and longer. That's it.

I came from Windows so I was overjoyed when I discovered command+tab was like alt+tab. Took me 6weeks of owning a MBP to discover it.
