Appendix B: Firefox Keyboard Reference

Overview

Anyone who uses the Web is painfully familiar with what I call the Surfer Shuffle: Reach for the keyboard and type an address. Reach for the mouse and scroll. Repeat hundreds of times a day.

Firefox provides a keyboard shortcut for nearly every action imaginable so you never have to reach for the mouse again. This appendix lists these shortcuts by category. Most work on all of Windows and Macintosh but a handful work only on certain systems. In these cases, I point out to you which shortcuts work on which system.

When an action has multiple shortcuts, I list them all.
