Firefox works pretty much the same as Internet Explorer. The two big 
differences I remember are that you use ctrl+l, not ctrl+o, to go to a 
new URL and that you hit ctrl+d, not alt+a followed by enter, to save a 
bookmark. As others have said, the best way to learn Firefox is to 
download it and explore the menus. Most things are where you expect, but 
there are a few surprises.

If your reason for switching is that your university requires IE9, 
Firefox may not be the answer to your problem. I finally broke down and 
upgraded to Windows 7 last fall because my campus required IE9. Firefox 
is my default browser, and though it works just fine on most campus 
pages, there are a few--the ones associated with rosters, grades, and 
employee stuff--that tell me I need to use IE9 to gain access. So ... 
try Firefox, but you may need to make the big switch anyway.
