LifeHack has a very useful post listing 15 great firefox tricks. I didn’t explore all of them yet, but only the following ones:

  1. Use Tiny icons to increase space available for information display
  2. Use Smart keywords to increase search efficiency
  3. Use keyboard shortcuts:
      • Spacebar (page down)
      • Shift-Spacebar (page up)
      • Ctrl+F (find)
      • Alt-N (find next)
      • Ctrl+D (bookmark page)
      • Ctrl+T (new tab)
      • Ctrl+K (go to search box)
      • Ctrl+L (go to address bar)
      • Ctrl+= (increase text size)
      • Ctrl+- (decrease text size)
      • Ctrl-W (close tab)
      • F5 (reload)
      • Alt-Home (go to home page)
  4. Use auto-complete in the address bar
  5. Use Mouse shortcut:
      • Middle click on link (opens in new tab)
      • Shift-scroll down (previous page)
      • Shift-scroll up (next page)
      • Ctrl-scroll up (decrease text size)
      • Ctrl-scroll down (increase text size)
      • Middle click on a tab (closes tab)
