I found out some more useful little tricks the other day:
You can use your mousewheel to do all sorts of shortcuts in Firefox:
Open links in a new tab/window - Simply hover your cursor over a link on any webpage WHILE IN FIREFOX and click your mousewheel. The link will instantly open in a new tab or window depending on your default settings. How cool is that? You now save a split second without having to right-click links and go the extra step. You can also this trick on buttons on your Firefox toolbar such as the Home button or the toolbar links. The links will automatically open in a new tab or window leaving your current page un-touched.
Close Firefox tabs - Simply hover your cursor over a tab you want to close and click your mousewheel. Now you save time by not having to aim for the "X" on the tab. Also works great for closing many Firefox tabs quickly.
I'm going to have 2 new articles out soon. The latest software and websites that have made the biggest impact on me the past year and a list of my favorite keyboard shortcuts.
