Keyboard shortcuts are one of the most beautiful inventions ever bestowed upon us. Who doesn’t want to make their browser easier and faster? And for the Mozilla Firefox browser, there is a laundry list of shortcuts that you can use to make you feel like a computer hacker in a movie (or something like that), zipping around on the screen just by touching a couple keys. We’re especially happy that the browser offers a bunch of shortcuts for the many developers who utilize Firefox.
We at Brand Thunder put together 30 of what we think are the most useful Firefox shortcuts out there, but if you have any others that are absolute musts, let us know!
