Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts

One thing I’ve learned about using Firefox all these years is that there are many useful keyboard shortcuts. When I’m scrolling through the website there’s times when the mouse gestures using Gesturefy make sense.

There are other times when the keyboard makes more sense. Here are some of Firefox keyboard shortcuts that I use that I can think of off han.d
