Here are my favorite Firefox keyboard shortcuts. I find them very useful because they make my browsing experience faster and easier. They are also handy especially when I am tired of using the mouse. In no particular order:
- Ctrl+K = Select the search bar
- Ctrl+Down/Up arrow = Change search engine while in the search bar
- Ctrl+L = Select the location bar
- Ctrl+ Enter= Complete a .com address while in the location bar
- / = Find as you type text
- ‘ = Find as you type link
- F5 = Refresh
- Ctrl+Tab = Switch tabs
- Ctrl+T = New Tab
- Ctrl+W = Close Tab
and here is a bonus one:
- Alt+O = Oracle Docs (works only if you have the Oracle Docs extension installed)
If Firefox is your browser of choice and you do not use keyboard shortcuts, you may want to give them a try. However, it may take a while to break your “mouse” habit. But once you do, you’ll never look back.

Hope everything is working out...
Don’t forget these:
Shift+Enter = wrap domain with http://www. and .net (so for awads.net, type awads and hit Shift+Enter)
Ctrl+Shift+Enter = Same as above, but uses .org instead
