When I was told of the following  seemingly simple but useful tricks, I know I was wrong. Some of you  power users may have already known these tricks, and if you know of any  other Firefox tips and tricks, feel free to share it.<img src="http://maketecheasier.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/firefox-logo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1) Drag and dropThere are many things that you can drag and drop in Firefox.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Drag the favicon of any site to your home icon to set it as the home page.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Drag a hyperlink (or image) to the new tab icon to open the link in a new tab.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Drag a download link (or image file) to the download icon to instantly download the file.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Drag  a highlighted word to the search bar (beside the address bar) will  bring you to the Google search result page for that word. If you drag  the highlighted word to the address bar (and press enter), Firefox will  perform a Google “I’m Feeling Lucky” search</li> </ul>2) Keyboard shortcutOther than the usual shortcut keys such Ctrl + T<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":o" />pen new tab, Ctrl + N: open new window etc, here are some not-so-well-known, but useful, shortcut keys:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl + Enter: Insert www and .com to the address bar. If you enter “about” in the address bar and press Ctrl + Enter, the browser will load the “<a href="http://www.about.com%E2%80%9D" target="_blank">www.about.com”</a> page</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ctrl + +/- : Increase/decrease the font size</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Spacebar:  Page down, same function as pressing “Pg Dn” (This is one great  shortcut key that I didn’t know till now…think I should just bang my  head to the wall)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shift + Spacebar: Page up, same function as pressing “Pg Up”</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Alt + Enter: Duplicate the current tab</li> </ul>3) Mouse shortcut<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl + scroll up/down: Increase/decrease the font size (same as the Ctrl ++/-)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Click a hyperlink with the middle button (or scrollwheel) opens the link in a new tab</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shift + scroll up/down: Navigate between the next and previous page</li> </ul>4) Bookmark keyword searchIf you set a keyword for your bookmark, you can easily open the bookmark simply by typing the keyword in the address bar.To set keywords for your bookmark, right click the bookmark and select properties. You should see a ‘keyword‘ field where you can enter your keyword.5) about:configThere are tons of configuration that you can edit to tweak the browser performance. Type about:config in the address bar to show the configuration.6) Restoring Toolbar configuration after Firefox crashesIf  your Firefox crashes and you find that all your toolbars setting are  jumbled up or not displayed properly (especially the web developer  toolbar), just go to View-> Toolbars -> Customize. Select “Restore Default Set”. Everything will be restored to the default state.</blockquote>
