Hyperwords for Firefox User Guide

Views are all about you deciding how the page should look, to make it quicker to skim the text and to give you more control while reading deeply. The View commands are likely to see a lot of change, so please give us any feedback you might have.

Please note: Views are not on by default, you will need to turn them on in the User Settings.
