Mouse-less Firefox

Navigation from the toolbar

The address bar shortcut should be as instinctual as breathing by now, but there’s a few more shortcuts to that top bar that you should keep in mind.

  • Select location bar: Ctrl/Cmd+L or Alt+D
  • Select search bar: Ctrl/Cmd+K
  • Back: Backspace or Alt/Cmd+Left
  • Forward: Alt/Option+Right or Shift+Backspace
  • Change search engine: Ctrl/Cmd+Down (Next) +Up (Previous)

Searching pages

The find-as-you-type feature was an epiphany. While Google is great at getting you to the right web page, Firefox’s find-as-you-type feature gets you the rest of the way.

  • Find as you type text: /
  • Find as you type link:
  • Regular old find: Ctrl/Cmd+F

Grab bag

The following shortcuts fall into a more general grab bag of useful shortcuts.

  • Caret browsing: F7
  • Refresh: Ctrl/Cmd+R or F5
  • Refresh (override cache): Ctrl/Cmd+F5 or Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R
  • Switch tabs: Ctrl/Cmd+Tab
  • Select tab (1-9): Ctrl/Cmd+[1-9]
  • Compose email: Ctrl/Cmd+M
