Today, we’re going to look at the king of the internet – Firefox.
Instead of just wildly throwing a list of shortcuts at you, I’m going to give you scenarios where you may use them and you can then see how you can easily remember them. I’ll also only give you what I think are the really important ones, the ones I use on a daily basis to whizz my way around the Fox.
Obviously though not everything in Firefox can be accomplished with a keyboard shortcut.
Installing extensions & scripts, choosing favourites and so forth requires the mouse. But basic navigation and moving around the net can be done solely with the keyboard and that in itself can save you a lot of time each day.
- So upon opening your browser, you’ll want to open a tab. That’s CTRL + T. Your cursor is already in the address bar. Go ahead and type the address. Once you’re on the webpage in question, use the up and down arrow keys to scroll up and down the page. Like the page? CTRL + D it then to bookmark it. Or CTRL + P it to send it to the printer. Finished with the page? CTRL + W it to shut down the tab. Move along. Nothing to see here people. Or the page could be annoying you. It may not be loading fast enough so hit the ESC button to stop it loading. Then CTRL + R to refresh the page. Still not loading properly? Then give up. Press CTRL + W to close down the tab. Move on to the next site. If you work on those shortcuts alone and practice until you can go really fast, you will surprise yourself at how fast you can open and close tabs, access, refresh and bookmark sites. This can make a really big difference overall in your browsing habits. To open a link on a webpage, use the TAB key and you’ll see each link being slightly highlighted as you hit the tab key :
