Open new tab: There's a button you can add to the toolbar. Right-click the toolbar, click Customize. Drag the New Tab icon up to the toolbar and drop it there To find text within a page without having to press CTRL + F, go to Tools > Options > Advanced. Check the box 'Search for text when i start typing'. When you're viewing a page, just start typing the search string and it'll come up. One thing I can't live without is Foxmarks. Go to Tools > Add-ons and search for Foxmarks. It lets you synchronize all your bookmarks on their server, so you'll have access to the same data on any computer you install it on. I was always out of sync before I learned about this handy tool! Again, thanks for this great tip review! Excellent tips!

But I did not know I could just click the empty space. That's a good tip. Of course, I'm a little slow when it comes to keyboard shortcuts, so... :) @Donald #15: I was just having some issues with my FF tonight and this tip is Heaven sent! Thank you for that.

Joe Hey,

My favourite shortcut is ctrl + l – it jumps to the adress bar, so you do not need to use the mouse.

My favourites are here

* Type the domain name into the address bar + ctr + ent – no need to type www. or .com – e.g. ‘semconsultancy’ + ctr + ent and you’re away
* ctr + j – opens downloader inspector
* ctr + t – opens a new tab
* ctr + tab (ctr + shift +tab) – toggle between browser tabs
* ctrl + l – jumps to address bar (F.F. and Opera only)
* / – find – same as ctr + f (F.F. and Opera only)

All good and in the worl of the fox!

Joe

I have my Firefox window open all day and it can build up some serious memory issues. I hope it helps to allow me to restart it less frequently. Another couple of good tips for keyboard shortcuts would be CTRL+L which allows you to quickly set focus to your address bar (think of it as CTRL+Location). Also, I use CTRL+K to quickly get to the search box so I can quickly search Google (think of it as CTRL+Keyword). I also stopped using CTRL+R recently in place of just hitting F5 to refresh the page. Also if you are in the web design world you will find that you can refresh the page with a cleared cache (for the page you are on) by using CTRL+F5. Both of these refresh methods work for IE, Safari and Opera also. Those were some awesomely handy tips, especially the one about memory.

It this something that you have to change in your preferences? Honestly, this list seems pretty basic, to me. #10 was new, though, and it pretty cool.

Another one is middle clicking on a tab to duplicate it. That’s useful when you need to submit stuff to social media, sometimes.
