*Clarify that path values are the defaults and that they could be different?
*Confusion - contradiction

<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>

* Clarify that the paths are default and could be modified - paths.py
* Highlight sections that (may) need to be modified
** Student comment: Within code, could be hard to understand.
* BOLD and HIGHLIGHT the part: '''Running the test will close any existing Firefox windows.'''

* Clarify any concerns about 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

* Student commented that users want to quickly setup the environment and get the performance testing running

* Clarify yaml config setup
** Do mention that indentation is important :)

* Should creation of the 'extension_perf_reports' directory be incorporated into the zip with the python files to save the user from having to make the directory?

* Student Comment: Mention that you need to "download and install them, in this order". The reason is because I assumed this was an installation walkthrough guide so I presume you may need us to configure things manually in the guide.

*Give some sort of feedback on test conclusions, it currently just dumps you back to the DOS prompt.

*Just say tests completed successfully/ failed etc.
