15 Useful Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts You Should Know
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
[Firefox][1] is one of the most popular free and open-source browsers for Linux users. Even though you have a lot of [open source chrome alternatives][2], Firefox still is one of the best choices to go with.
|
||
|
||
And you don’t even need to [install Firefox on Ubuntu][3] or most other distributions because it is installed by default.
|
||
|
||
What if you can make your browsing experience on Firefox even better by using some keyboard shortcuts?
|
||
|
||
Hold on, of course, not everyone prefers to use keyboard shortcuts. But, if you’re comfortable with that and want to do perform tasks in a jiffy, you should know some of the most common Firefox keyboard shortcuts.
|
||
|
||
It is also worth noting that you could use some of these shortcuts on Chrome/Chromium as well- however, we already have a list of [useful Google Chrome shortcuts][4] to help you out. So, if you’re using Chrome/Chromium, I insist you check out that article.
|
||
|
||
### 15 Useful Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts
|
||
|
||
![][5]
|
||
|
||
You could always refer to the [official documentation][6] of keyboard shortcuts for Firefox. However, that’s a very long list, and you probably do not need to use all of that.
|
||
|
||
So, here, I shall be listing the most commonly used (and useful) keyboard shortcuts that you can use on Firefox. To be honest, these are the shortcuts that I use most frequently on Firefox.
|
||
|
||
#### 1\. Open A New Tab
|
||
|
||
You don’t have to hover your cursor over to the **+** sign in the browser.
|
||
|
||
Simply press **CTRL + T** to open a new tab in the same window.
|
||
|
||
#### 2\. Open A New Tab In A New Window
|
||
|
||
If you want to open up a new window along with a new tab, you just have to press **CTRL + N**.
|
||
|
||
#### 3\. Close A Tab
|
||
|
||
Lazy to use your mouse to navigate and close the tab? Fret not, just press **CTRL + W** to make your active tab vanish!
|
||
|
||
#### 4\. Open A New Private Window
|
||
|
||
Don’t want to store the history/cookies for a specific browsing session? You can try the private mode by pressing **CTRL + Shift + P** as the keyboard shortcut for Firefox.
|
||
|
||
#### 5\. Open Recently Closed Tabs
|
||
|
||
If you closed a tab recently (or a number of tabs), just press **CTRL + Shift + T** till you get all your closed tabs restored.
|
||
|
||
#### 6\. Reload Webpage
|
||
|
||
You might want to reload a webpage quickly, to do that press **F5**.
|
||
|
||
If you want to ignore the cached content and want to fetch a new copy of the webpage, you can try **CTRL + F5**.
|
||
|
||
#### 7\. Scroll Up/Down Webpage
|
||
|
||
You can also scroll up/down using just your keyboard.
|
||
|
||
Simply use **PAGE UP** to scroll up and **PAGE DOWN** key to scroll down.
|
||
|
||
#### 8\. Find A Text In Webpage
|
||
|
||
You do not need to endlessly look for a word on a webpage just like you would in a physical book.
|
||
|
||
Simply press **CTRL + F** and then type in the exact word, it should highlight the matching words if it exists.
|
||
|
||
#### 9\. Close Your Browser At Once
|
||
|
||
Hit **CTRL + Shift + W** to close all the tabs in one go. However, you might get the prompt to confirm it.
|
||
|
||
#### 10\. View The Page Source
|
||
|
||
If you’re interested to take peek at the webpage’s source code, you just have to press **CTRL + U** to open view source in a new tab.
|
||
|
||
#### 11\. Switch Tabs Quickly
|
||
|
||
If you have multiple tabs opened up, you can easily navigate through them by pressing:
|
||
|
||
**CTRL + Tab**.
|
||
|
||
#### 12\. View Your Downloads
|
||
|
||
Do you want to quickly take a look at your download library? All you need to do is press:
|
||
|
||
**CTRL + Shift + Y**
|
||
|
||
#### 13\. Bookmark A Webpage
|
||
|
||
To bookmark a webpage, hit **CTRL + D** and press the **ENTER** key to save it.
|
||
|
||
#### 14\. Select the Address/Search Bar
|
||
|
||
If you want to search for something through the address bar, hit **CTRL + L** to immediately highlight the search bar for you.
|
||
|
||
#### 15\. Check Browsing History
|
||
|
||
Usually, it needs a couple of clicks to view your history. But, you can just press **CTRL + H** to launch the sidebar to view your history right away.
|
||
|
||
### Wrapping Up
|
||
|
||
As I mentioned, you will find a huge list of Firefox keyboard shortcuts if you take a look at their [official documentation][6].
|
||
|
||
If you want to explore more options, feel free to check the documentation. In either case, the mentioned keyboard shortcuts should come pretty handy.
