- “Ctrl T”: Opens a new tab.
- “Ctrl W”: Closes a tab.
- “Ctrl Shift T”: Opens the tab you just closed.
- “Ctrl N”: Opens a new firefox window.
- “F6”: Moves to the address bar for you to type a web address.
- “Ctrl S”: Save the website you’re visiting.
- “Ctrl P”: Prints the web page you’re visiting.
- “Ctrl F”: Find something on a web page.
- “Ctrl Tab”: Moves to the next open tab.
- “Ctrl Shift Tab”: Moves to the previous open tab.
- “Ctrl +”: Zoom in.
- “Ctrl –“: Zoom out.
- “F5”: Refresh the page.
The following are some interesting shortcuts and tips (I don’t use these ones often):
- “Spacebar”: Scrolls down the page.
- “Shift Spacebar”: Scrolls up the page.
- Middle-click on a link: Opens that link in a new tab.
- Hold “Ctrl” and click on a link: Opens that link in a new tab
- “F11”: Makes the browser window fullscreen… if you’re interested, I hardly use it.
- “Ctrl U”: Shows the source code for the web page you’re viewing. This feature has a disadvantage though, you can’t edit the source for the webpage through the firefox page source viewer. I guess this is for webpage copyright reasons.
- “Ctrl J”: Opens the downloads window to view the list of recently downloaded files.
Finally, something I’ve noticed among many firefox users I know is this. When they are downloading a file, it doesn’t show them the location to save or download the file to. The file downloads automatically to the desktop. To fix this, go to “Tools – Options” or press “Alt T O”. then click on the “Main” tab and select “Always ask me where to save files” then click “OK”. Use the window below as a guide.
Hope these tips were useful.
