This is the most awesome tweak for Firefox ever!!! I can’t stress that enough. My whole life of computer learning and internet browsing was that you click the URL and it highlights the whole url and you can simply type a new URL and get going. Not so with the defaults of Firefox. It usually takes me a few attempts to get the whole thing highlighted before I can type a new correct URL… often times I just gave up and CTRL+A’d the stupid thing. This tweak has made my internet browsing THAT much better for me. Thanks so much Mark O’Neill. Now I’m a happy one click highlighting type of guy. Take care!

Tip #1 didn’t work for me. When I dragged the highlighted text into the address bar and pressed “Enter,” nothing happened. When I clicked the green “go” arrow, Firefox went to the associated web site, same as if I had typed it in.

However… to do an even faster Google search, you can drag and drop the text directly into the Google search box. You don’t even have to press “Enter.” This works for all of the search choices (e.g., Wikipedia), not just Google.

Cool tips. Regarding the file download feature, you can use a Firefox plugin Firebug, to easily know the URL of the image/file. Read about Firebug here

Something much, much faster than #4 is to hold down the ALT key and click on any link. It will download automatically.

Cool list of tips there – use most of them already. I kew about the CTRL + TAB function but never knew you could press CTRL + a number and go to that tab. Really cool feature which I will use a fair bit.

Thanks.
