Firefox keyboard shortcuts and tips

by | Jul 21, 2010 | Blog, Software

This is just a refresher for myself.  I’ve started using Firefox Beta 4.0b1 without the menu bar and navigation bar for a very minimalist view.
Using it this way makes keyboard shortcuts that much more important for efficient browsing.

Go to your default search engine = ctrl & k
Go to a URL = ctrl & l
Open the downloads sidebar = ctrl & j
Go to your home page = alt & home
Find in the current page = ctrl & f

To set your default search engine to something else: hit ctrl & l, type about:config.
search for browser.search.defaultenginename and change it to whatever you want, in my case Bing.

 

Transformers 3 explosions video

Video of a scene from Transformers 3 that is being shot some in Chicago.  You can’t really see the set to well, but if you look at my pictures in the previous post you can get an idea as to what’s going on.
We had hoped to be closer when they started actual filming but they kept pushing us back farther and farther.
