A Few Helpful Things Stuck on My Firefox Tabs; Time to give my computer a break!

I haven’t shut my computer down in 5 days now because I’ve got too many tabs open on Firefox. In an effort to give my iMac a break, I’m going to just post a few of the many interesting finds that made their way into the 27 tabs I had open across 5 browser windows.
