Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts

Recently, I have been looking for ways to make my Internet browsing more effective. One of the ways to increase your productivity is to use keyboard shortcuts. If you've seen my tutorial on how to Open Links Faster, you know how useful they can be. Well as I was looking for things to talk about on Talk Tech with CTI I stumbled across this article about Firefox keyboard shortcuts. We even talked about a couple of the ones I saw on this page on the radio show. So far the one that has impressed me the most was Ctrl+Shift+T. If you accidentally close a tab it will reopen it for you. Pretty cool really, give some of these shortcuts a shot.

Take a Shortcut

Keyboard shortcuts can come in real handy. I use them all the time. I use Ctrl+c (Copy) Ctrl+x (Cut) and also Ctrl+v (Paste) and I use them a lot. I also use Windows+d which shows the desktop.

Back to were I started.
