Must known mozilla firefox keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts have always been usefull.They save precious time and makes our working more and more dynamic.Here is the list of some important Mozilla Firefox keyboard shortcuts.

1: Automatically add .com,.org and .net to addresses

Most of us know that if we type ‘sitename’ in the address bar and press Ctrl+Enter it directly goes to www.sitename.com . But what about .org and .net addresses? In Firefox , Shift+Enter takes you to www.sitename.net and Ctrl+Shift+Enter takes you to www.sitename.org addresses automatically . So if you wanna go to Jaystech , just type the word in firefox address bar and press Ctrl+Enter .

2.Open new page or reopen last closed tab:

Ctrl+T helps you to open a new tab and Ctrl+Shift+T reopens the last closed tab.This comes quite handy in case you accidentally close a tab. Another way to do this would be go to History -> Recently closed tabs.

3.navigate directly to the browser address bar:: Press ALT+D

4.Alt+Enter

This can be an extremely useful shortcut. It automatically opens a website in another tab when you highlight it in the autocomplete list. For example you want to go to Facebook and you start typing www.face…, in the address bar and it starts showing the list below. You just need to use the down arrow key to highlight the selection (facebook.com in this case ) and press Alt+Enter so that it opens in a new tab.

5. Spacebar and Shift+Spacebar OR PageDown and PageUp

Spacebar or PageDown key scrolls down the webpage you’re on and Shift+Spacebar or PageUp scrolls up the webpage you’re on .

6.Switch to another opened tab

Ctrl+tab can help you navigate alternate tabs but if you are a heavy tab user like me and want to go to a specific tab then just use Ctrl+corresponding tab number,Ctrl+[1,2....9]. Ex:To go to the 3rd tab use Ctrl+3 .

7.The Middle Mouse Button

This is not a keyboard shortcut but it is an excellent shortcut . Just point to a link anywhere on a webpage and press the middle mouse(scroll) button . It opens the page in a new tab .

8.Add bookmark:Press ctrl+d

9.Close a tab or window:

Use ctrl+w to close tab or window if one one tab is open and more importantly you can use middle mouse button to close a tab.Just click on the tab with middle mouse button to close it.

I hope these shortcuts will enhance your browsing productivity with Firefox . If you know something better then share it with us.
