Geared towards Windows users but I’m sure you Mac nerds can figure it out

For “find next” you’d better get used to another shortcut, which will work in most other applications as well (where command+n means “new”).

The generally working shortcut for find next is:
command+G (ctrl + G on windows or linux)

ps. maybe the easiest way to remember it is that the letter G is next to F (Find)

What I would “love” for is the ability to quickly access the address bar. On Windows, I can press Alt+D and bam, I can begin typing my URL. I have yet to find a way to do this on OS X =(

“# Control + Tab (navigate forward through browser tabs)
# Control + Shift + Tab (navigate backward through browser tabs)”

You can also use Ctrl + Page Down/Page up (Command for Mac OS X then I guess), to switch forward and back between tabs.

Also to go to the Addressbar you can also use F6 (and with another F-Key you can access the Searchbar as far as I remember).

And another good one is with Ctrl + 0 (Command + 0 then on Mac OS X) you can set the screen text size back to default.

We’ve all done it. Accidentally closed a Firefox tab that we were still using. I know now that you can right click another tab and choose Undo Close Tab to bring it back. But another great way to do the same thing is to use Command-Shift-T (M…

My favorite Firefox shortcut is the delete key to go back a page. It’s much quicker than any other method I’ve tried so far.

Control-tab does not switch between tabs in Firefox 1.5.0.1 for OS-X. Instead it switches between the browser window & address bar.

Control-pagedown & control-pageup are fairly useless, since you can’t do them left-handed; which, overall, makes tabs themselves fairly useless, since you can’t switch between them in any kind of efficient manner (whereas you *can* do so for separate browser windows).

In firefox you can use “Command + L” to access address-bar..
(Haven’t figured out similar to “Alt+D” directly in OS X )

Fn+F6 also goes directly to address bar.

Plus to change between spaces quickly you can use CTRL+page up or page down. If you use spaces this is essential.
