Readers commenting on “Superfast Spelling Corrections with Firefox” offered up this great shortcut: hold CTRL and press K, and you’ll send the cursor up to the search box in Firefox. I previously just hit CTRL+L and then TAB, but hey, one less key to press is one less key to press.
Some other Firefox keyboard shortcuts I use frequently are:
- Backspace: Go back. Same as hitting the back button.
- Shift+Backspace: Go forward. Same as hitting the forward button.
- F5: Reload the current page. (CTRL+F5 overrides the cache)
- CTRL+L: Select the address bar.
- CTRL+F: Find text in page.
- CTRL+T: Open a new tab.
There’s a complete list of keyboard shortcuts at the Firefox help site.
