Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation. Installation of Firefox is simple and does not in any way shape or form hinder PC performance. It sits as a completely separate entity to IE, allowing both web browsers to work in perfect harmony on one PC. Mozilla Firefox even allows you to migrate all of your IE favorites, so it can’t be that risky a proposition to install.
Now a days, almost everybody's favorite open-source browser, Firefox works amazing. By adding some of the awesome extensions available on the web, this browser even gets better.
But don't you know that there are several hidden tricks that you must know and learn to make this browser cooler, faster and even more efficient. You better try this for yourself guys and unleash the power of this browser.



23 Coolest Firefox tricks



1. More screen space.

Make your icons small. Go to View - Toolbars - Customize and check the “Use small icons” box.


2. Smart keywords.

If there’s a search you use a lot (let’s say IMDB.com’s people search), this is an awesome tool that not many people use. Right-click on the search box, select “Add a Keyword for this search”, give the keyword a name and an easy-to-type and easy-to-remember shortcut name (let’s say “actor”) and save it. Now, when you want to do an actor search, go to Firefox’s address bar, type “actor” and the name of the actor and press return. Instant search! You can do this with any search box.


3. Keyboard shortcuts.

This is where you become a real Jedi. It just takes a little while to learn these, but once you do, your browsing will be super fast. Here are some of the most common (and my personal favs):

* Spacebar (page down)
* Shift-Spacebar (page up)
* Ctrl+F (find)
* Alt-N (find next)
* Ctrl+D (bookmark page)
* Ctrl+T (new tab)
* Ctrl+K (go to search box)
* Ctrl+L (go to address bar)
* Ctrl+= (increase text size)
* Ctrl+- (decrease text size)
* Ctrl-W (close tab)
* F5 (reload)
* Alt-Home (go to home page)
