==Framework Prereqs==
*Additional details regarding Framework Prerequisites would reduce confusion.  There isn't any harm in "dumbing it down" a level.
**Order of installations
**Python options
**Cygwin options (packages)
**Where to put the .dll

==Framework Config==
*Are given path values the defaults?  Is there any forseeable reason that they would be different?

*Confusion - you seem to be contradicting yourself

<pre>(Optional) For the page load test to work, modify the hostperm.1 file

    * Set to allow urls with scheme:file to open in new windows
    * Set the preference to open new windows in a tab should be off. 
</pre>

<pre>    # Permission File
    # This is a generated file! Do not edit.
</pre>

==Config File==
*What do I modify?  The paths?
**Highlight sections that need to be modified or "may" need to be modified.  Within code, could be hard to understand.

 Running the test will close any existing Firefox windows.  
*This should be BOLD CAPS MAJOR, almost lost all my wiki edits.

==Skewing the Test==
*How much of this test is reliant on applications currently running on the system?  Can one skew the test results to give inaccurate readings by overloading the system?

*By running a quick test I realized that by overloading the processor, the results of the test become much less useful.  Before running the test framework I started a multitude of applications to occupy the processor:
**2 x YouTube Flash Video Sites
**1 x Disk Defragmenter 
**1 x Flash Game
**1 x Flash  Media Site
**1 x Windows Media Streamed Video

*By looking at the images below, the Normal test's % of processor peaks at approximately 26.5%.  In contrast the overloaded test shows a low point of 26.5%.  This result actually has nothing to do with Firefox, but everything to do with stress put on the processor from external applications.  In addition the other results were affected aswell.
