Tips and shortcuts for Firefox

Jul 6, 2008 Tips

With some tips / shortcuts can make our experience with the Fire Rapoza better.

Shortcuts / keyboard shortcuts

There are several. You can consult this page which are well represented / explained.

But my most used are:

• [Ctrl] + [K]: deslica the cursor up to the frame's search firefox.
• [Ctrl] + [Up or Down]: If the cursor is in the frame of research and do these shortcuts, you change the search engine of the frame.
• [Ctrl] + [L] or [F]: it moves the cursor to the frame of url.

Tip

The frame of the url is the function of seach or even better.

For example, you want to go to gmail, instead of typing "www.gmail.com", simply write "gmail", you are redirected to a page. Another example is "yahoo mail" (yes with space) and forwarded to the page you are right.

The frame of url works like this:

• If what you wrote is not text and url, and that text has much related to a certain page (see previous examples), you are redirected to this page.
• If the text is not related to a page in particular, you are redirected to Google to search the text you write. Experimenta. It is difficult to explain ...

Do some tests with RTP, RTP1, Download IE.

Soon this tip will seize you!

Try and share your opinion.
