Essential Firefox Shortcuts

Posted in: Computer Tips & Tricks

Today I’d like to share two useful shortcuts I use multiple times a day, every day, while browsing the web with Firefox.

The first shortcut is Ctrl +L (Cmd + L if you’re on a Mac). Super simple. Hit these two keys when you’re using Firefox and your cursor immediately jumps up into your address bar, ready for you to type in the location of the next site you’d like to visit.

The second shortcut requires you to hold down three keys in a row instead of two. (I’m sure you can handle it.) Here it is: Ctrl + Shift + T (Cmd + Shift + T if you’re on a Mac). This magic combination will re-open your most recently closed tab. This is an absolute lifesaver, as anyone who’s accidentally closed a tab or two well knows.
