Cool FireFox Tricks


Since you are already using Firefox as your primary web browser, I thought I would share this story with you.

LifeHack has a great article today about 15 of the coolest Firefox tricks ever. As an avid Firefox user I figured I knew all of the coolest tricks but gave the article a quick scan anyways.

I was wrong! There are some really cool tricks in that post. For example:

11. Add a keyword for a bookmark. Go to your bookmarks much faster by giving them keywords. Right-click the bookmark and then select Properties. Put a short keyword in the keyword field, save it, and now you can type that keyword in the address bar and it will go to that bookmark.

I didn't know that and it is great time saver. I use bookmarks to quickly find sites that I go to often. Now I don't need to scroll thru all my bookmarks I just enter the keyword and hit enter. Nothing could be simpler or quicker.

Check out the other tips and if you have a tip that you would like to share please add a comment to this post.

Oh, and if you are one of the unlucky ones that isn't using Firefox yet get Firefox from here and try it. You will like it!
