 One person asked why the lock icon on the Tor Project's website was not outlined 
 in green. Sites that use HTTPS can purchase different types of SSL certificates. 
-Some certificate issuers offer certificates that supply ownership information such 
-as the physical address of the website operator for a higher price. Sites that use 
-certificates like this get the lock icon by their URL outlined in green. The Tor
-Project adds protection to the validity of our SSL certificate a different way, by

+One person wanted to known why a website they were visiting over Firefox was telling
+them that they were not using Tor, even though Vidalia told them that Tor was running. 
+By default, the Tor Browser Bundle does not anonymize all the traffic on your computer. 
+Only the traffic you send through the Tor Browser Bundle will be anonymized. If you 
+have Firefox and the Tor Browser open at the same time, the traffic you send through 
+Firefox will not be anonymous. Using Firefox and Tor Browser Bundle at the same time is 
+not a great idea because the two interfaces are almost identical, and it is easy to get 
+the two browsers mixed up, even if you know what you are doing.
