Firefox shortcuts

Firefox shortcuts

As per my promise to give shortcut tips for Firefox in my previous post I am here with a list of shortcut keys and few useful tips that can enhance your Firefox experience.

As always I use these shortcuts to just save the time as gamers save the time to win the game with cheats. Here it’s not like cheat but it’s just a way to save the time. After these shortcuts your life would be very simple but I am not claming at all that these shortcuts will replace your mouse for browsing but I can assure you for this that these shortcuts will give you a different browsing experience that you have never before and your mouse use will reduce by 50 percent.

Firefox is itself a very big tool in itself so I am dividing it in few separate parts.

For starting firefox user windows+r then typefirefox and press enter. Firefox will get open.
