I use these for Firefox and figured they'd be helpful to others too:

  • Google search results: CTRL+'K' and type search words then hit enter
  • Google search results: Hight text, right click, select "Web Search"
  • Fonts larger: CTRL+'+' (also doable by CTRL+mouse scrollwheel down)
  • Fonts smaller: CTRL+'-' (also doable by CTRL+mouse scrollwheel up)
  • Multiple home tabs: Set up all the pages you want on separate tabs then go Tools>Options>Use Current pages
  • History: CTRL+H (pretty standard)
  • Bookmarks: CTRL+B (pretty standard)
...and these I should use...
  • Next: ALT+Right arrow (also doable by SHIFT+mouse scrollwheel up)
  • Back: ALT+Left arrow (also doable by SHIFT+mouse scrollwheel down)
Happy Firefoxing!
