Not long ago the USB mouse that I’ve been using with my laptop finally died. Granted it may have been due to me stubbing my toe on my backpack and crushing it during the middle of the night. In any event, I’ve become pretty proficient in the use of keyboard shortcuts in Firefox at this point. I thought I would share a few with you.
Navigation Shortcuts
Forward, backward, home, address bar and search bar can be done via keyboard shortcuts:
alt+Left Arrow : back
alt+Right Arrow : forward
alt+Home : Home
ctrl+L : address bar
F6 : address bar
ctrl+K : search bar
ctrl+K+Down Arrow : toggle search engine down
ctrl+K+Up Arrow : toggle search engine up
Tab Shortcuts
Opening, closing and navigating your tabs can be done via these shortcuts:
ctrl+t : new tab
ctrl+w : close tab
ctrl+Page Up : previous tab
ctrl+Page Down : next tab
ctrl+tab : next tab
alt+num (1, 2, 3, etc) : tab number
ctrl+shift+T : open recently closed tabs
ctrl+r : refresh tab content
ctrl+shift+r : force-refresh tab content
ctrl+u : view tab source
Are there any shortcuts that I’ve missed? If you’ve got anything to share, comment.
