Very handy.
I use the forward slash “/” to find instead of “ctrl+F”
after ‘finding’…
find next: “ctrl+G”
find last: “ctrl+shift+G”
I didn’t know a couple of these, and also for the select URL bar, F6 works as well.
I didn’t know most of these, and I have been using Firefox for years, obviously not the quick way.
Good post.
thanks for the tips, i’ve only used internet explorer my whole life but my job makes us use firefox so i’m fairly unfamiliar with it – should hopefully speed internet work up
