Ctrl + Enter




When you type something into the address bar and press Ctrl + Enter, you will be automatically taken to http://www.something.com.



This is a very useful shortcut, you’ll thank it from saving you from typing in all those www.’s and .com’s when you just want to get to somewhere. Fast.



Alt + Ctrl + Enter will open the site you want in a new tab.



But what if you want to get to a .org? Such as Wikipedia? Well, the answer is imple. Press Shift + Ctrl + Enter.



A Shift + Enter will take you to a .net, like xptricks.net! So the next time you want to visit, just type xptricks and press the magic keys. Bookmarking me will also do just fine (Press Ctrl + D to bookmark)



Ctrl + W

This is quite a handy shortcut. It lets you close a browser tab without reaching for the tiny red x with your mouse.

So, the next time you’re surfing in Firefox and need to close something fast, remember – Ctrl + W !



(Note: to close the whole browser or any other window, press Alt + F4.)



Change text size



Tap Ctrl and + to make text larger or Ctrl and – to make text smaller.



Searching



Press Ctrl + F to search for a specific word in the site.



If you can’t find what you’re looking for on google and yahoo, try a metasearch engine such as dogpile, that compiles results from most popular search engines.
