What is a keyboard shortcut...?
If you don't know I suggest you read my last article The top keyboard shortcuts for Windows
What is Firefox...?
Firefox is a web browser (the thing you use to view web pages) that is a competitor for Internet Explorer (the one you might possibly be using). It is supposedly safer, more secure and faster than Internet Explorer and is becoming more and more popular all the time (if you are interested in trying it there is a link to download it in the menu on the right).
In this post I am listing the most popular keyboard shortcuts for all you firefox users (I will do one for all you Internet Explorer fans too - just not right now)
So what are the shortcuts...?
Here they are - enjoy
