15 Coolest Firefox Tricks Ever
Everybody’s favorite open-source browser, Firefox, is great right out
of the box. And by adding some of the awesome extensions available out
there, the browser just gets better and better.
But look under the hood, and there are a bunch of hidden (and some
not-so-secret) tips and tricks available that will crank Firefox up and
pimp your browser. Make it faster, cooler, more efficient.
Get to be a Jedi master with the following cool 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.
