Essential Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts

There are plenty of shortcuts in every application; some people prefer mouse rather than using keyboard shortcuts. I also don’t use so often the keyboard shortcuts but it fastens the speed of browsing in Firefox. Most of people use Firefox browser. For those who still like to use Firefox; I am going to give you a big list of Firefox shortcut keys. You can improve your experience with Firefox by learning some essential keyboard shortcuts. Many of the shortcuts will be a combination of keystrokes. For example “Ctrl + C” means that you should hold down the Ctrl (control) key and press the letter “C”. Use the lowercase letters not uppercase, if using the shift key is need it will be indicated as “Shift”.

80+ Essential Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts


This is a list of keyboard shortcuts in Mozilla Firefox. If you have enabled Emacs-style text editing shortcuts in GNOME, they will also work in Firefox. When an Emacs text editing shortcut conflicts with the default shortcuts (as occurs with Ctrl+K), the Emacs shortcut will take preference if focus is inside a text box (which would include the location bar and search bar). In such cases you should use the alternate keyboard shortcut if one is listed below.
