Power user tips for Firefox

I do a lot of websurfing, so when I see a headline like this one, Five Firefox Tips You May Not Know About, I'm always skeptical. But in this case, there actually were five tips that I didn't really know about--and at least one that I've started using constantly.

makeuseof.com looks like an interesting resource for web-oriented stuff; the fact that so much of the web these days is open source is just a sideline. Anyway, those Firefox tips came courtesy of Mark O'Neill, and include my current favorite, switching tabs with a keystroke (instead of mousing): just press Ctrl-Tab to switch from one tab to another.

Firefox Tab Tricks, and More

Whether you're already a Firefox fan, or just curious, check out this article from James Yeang, Top 10 Ways Best Ways to Manage Firefox Tabs. He's got a big pile of articles and lists related to Firefox, among many other interesting bits and pieces at FriedBeef's Tech.

If you're like me, though, maybe you don't want to have to download and add-in all those add-ons, plug-ins, and extensions. In that case, check out this list list of Firefox features that don't require extensions. Because sometimes it just makes sense to stick with the basics.
