Powerful firefox shortcuts and tips
Most of us who use computers on daily basis like shortcuts – keyboard combinations such as Ctrl+N, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+W and Ctrl+P etc, those shortcuts can save your fairly amount of time and save you from moving the sticky mouse, you know what I am talking about though.
I used some of Firefox shortcuts to surf the wonderful and mysterious web. These shortcuts include Ctrl+N, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+W and Ctrl+P. I recently did a search for powerful Firefox shortcuts – note that these shortcuts are most likely applicable to different versions of firefox browsers, and found that there are a few other key combinations that I didn’t even know. Search and going through these articles and very time consuming, plus some of them really are empty, so I figure this short list may be useful to others, first here goes my summary:
