Firefox is my preferred browser due to it being an open source browser with ever increasing base of firefox addons.
A few days back we had presented five useful keyboard shortcuts for running your firefox shortcuts. Here we present yet another set of five useful shortcut keys for firefox, which will make you less dependent on your mouse and more on your keyboard, making you work faster.
5. Backspace: Go Back one page in your browser history.
It replaces your browser’s “back button”. Excellent useful shortcut.
4. F11: Expand to Full Screen view, toggle action.
It hides your title bar, menu bar, address bar, and status bar and thus
3. CTRL-K: Move cursor to Google bar to searchMOdern browsers know the use of Search fanctions and thus all of them incorporate Search engines within the browsers window itself. With this keyboard shortcut, you don’t require mouse click to move to the search form.
2. F5: Refresh the current web page
If your page fails to fully load, or you need to update the weather report or sports score on your page, simply use this classic f5 keyboard tool
1. CTRL-D: Bookmark the current page
Simple but effective.

Crazy stuff.. seriously… is not that “helpful” just because you have to remeber all the shortcuts… and it’s way faster if we just use the mouse… that’s why it’s there….

I just learned a really useful one earlier today. Not exactly a ‘keyboard’ shortcut though. If there’s a website address typed on the page but not linked to, you can highlight the address and then drag it onto the current page’s tab or into the empty space to the right of the current tabs to open it in a new tab. In fact, this will even work if you highlight and drag just the name of the website onto the tab bar, for instance highlighting and dragging google will take you to their site (Only works with .com I believe).
That reminds me that you can also open a new tab by double clicking in an empty space on the tab bar.
