Drag and drop in Firefox and Restoring Toolbar configuration after Firefox crashes is quite useful to me. Thanks for the list.

To open link in new tab, point to that link then use Ctrl+left mouse click will open that in new tab. You can also use mouse scroll to open in new tab.

To close particular tab, use Ctrl + F4
To clear private data, use Ctrl+Shift+Del
To enable/disable caret browsing, use F7. by enabling it, we can select texts by keyboard.

I didn’t see this one, which is a better “boss key”: Ctrl-W closes the current tab.

laki:
You probably just had a single page with no tab. If you don’t have the tabs visible the alt+enter doesn’t work. Open new tab , go to a website, press alt+enter and bob’s your mother’s brother

Yeah, and ctrl-shift-T reopens your last-closed tab.

Addendum to the addendums about ctrl-enter – type your word, press ctrl-alt-enter, and it opens in a new tab with www and .com appended. (or of course, shift-alt-enter for .net. ctrl-shift-alt-enter doesn’t seem to work, but that may be a good thing, my hand hurts from trying).
