Firefox’s Navigation Bar Keyboard Combo Cheat Sheet

We have covered a lot keyboard shortcuts thus far, but today I wanted to cover some of the default tasks you might want to do.  Replicating the navigation toolbar, here are the tasks and then the tips on how to get them done quicker with a few strokes of the keyboard keys.

back  Alt + Left Arrow or Backspace = Go Back a Page

forward  Alt + Right Arrow or Shift + Backspace = Go Forward a Page

home  Alt + Home = Go to your Homepage

reload  F5 or Ctrl + R = Reload a Page

stop  Esc = Stop a Page from Loading

print  Ctrl + P = Bring up the Print Options

downloads  Ctrl + J = Launch the Download Window

history  Ctrl + H = Open Your History in the Sidebar

bookmarks  Ctrl + B = Open Your Bookmarks in the Sidebar

new-tab  Ctrl + T = New Tab

new-window  Ctrl + N = New Browser Window

cut  Ctrl + X = Cut

copy  Ctrl + C = Copy

paste  Ctrl + V = Paste

There is at least one (and sometimes two) keyboard combinations you can use to get the navigation toolbar tasks done.  Anymore keyboard tips you’d like me to go over as we all become Firefox keyboard ninjas? 

For more help, check these out...

Handy basic information there, though I’d like to learn how to make a new folder with the push of a button like in xplorer2’s F8 key.

I tend to use Ctrl + T to open a new tab, but this command will delete a bookmark on the Firefox toolbar. There, for example, to open a bookmark in a new tab for a favorite website, you must use Ctrl + W (which elsewhere in Firefox is used for closing a tab).

Why can’t these commands be consistent? I am reluctant to change commands on my own PC since I often use Firefox on other machines.

What Do You Think?
