FIREFOX SHORTCUTS
To use the keyboard shortcuts hold down CTRL and press one of the following:
T Opens a new tab and takes the focus to the new tab
O Open Local File. This is one of the biggest changes from IE where both Ctrl-O and Ctrl-L opened a dialogue box for a URL.
L Changes focus to the Address bar
Tab Scrolls through the tabs from current window towards the right. Loops back to the first tab when rightmost tab is reached
1..0 The numbers 1 to 0 takes the focus to Tab 1 to 10
N Opens a new window like IE
W a tab or if there are no tabs, close the window
B Open bookmark sidepanel
D Bookmark current page
H Brings up the history dialogue box on the right. Useful if you closed a page accidentally and forgot the URL. Or to make sure your kids are not looking at pr0n
U Show page source
Y Open downloads window
K Focus goes to search bar
Some of the more common shortcuts just for the heck of it.
R Refresh current page
F Find in page
G Find Again (used in conjunction with Ctrl F)
J Page Info (same as properties in IE)
- Decrease font size
+ Increase font size
S Save current page to disk
P Print current page
A Select All
A note about copy and pasting in Firefox; it is not integrated as closely as IE and the Office Suite for better or worse. For example copying the contents of a page directly in IE and pasting into Word for example keeps the formatting most of the time. Doing the same thing with Firefox results in plain text being copied over.
*edit An astute reader has pointed out another shortcut, “/” just the slash, not brackets which activates an incremental search; it will go to the first instance of the string that is typed in. Hit F3 to find again or hit ESC to cancel the search.
A more specific version of the incremental search is “‘” which only finds links with the string entered.
*edit July 26th 2004 Thanks to August who pointed out yet a few more shortcuts as well as a small note – increasing the font size is the = and + key an would more correctly be CTRL =
F5 – refresh page
F6 – Same as CTRL-L, focus is taken to the address bar
CTRL Y – Open up the downloads window
CTRL K – Focus is taken to search bar
Hack Firefox to Run it Faster
If you are a Firefox User and Want to run it faster, than you have to try these simple hacks which will really help you to run Firefox Faster. With just a few clicks and some typing, you can experience faster browsing and surfing Firefox. Read below for how.
1. Open the Firefox “config” page: click into the Firefox address location bar, and type about:config, press Enter.
2. Search the line browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs . (tip: press “b” on your keyboard to quick scroll).
3. Double click on browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs . This will set its toggle to “true”. Now your advanced and enhanced tabbing should be set.
Note: in Firefox version 1.5, the command line is singlewindow.openintabs.

5. Lastly, we will increase the maximum pipeline requests to 100. Find the line that says network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Double click on it, and a dialog box will pop up. Change the setting from 4 to 100.
6. No need to save this file. Simply close and restart Firefox, and you should see an immediate 10% to 40% increase in web page transfer speed, and faster opening of your tabbed windows! Enjoy!
