Firefox tips
Here are two Firefox tips that I didn't know about. Perhaps there are other Firefox users who weren't aware of these keyboard shortcuts.
1. Zoom in and Zoom out of a page with Command-+ and Command- - (minus). Handy! Mac users enjoy zooming using the Universal Access system preference. This is done in Firefox and was new to me.
2. You can scroll down using the spacebar and scroll up with shift-spacebar. I didn't know that either.
I've been computing forever (if you ask my kids ;) ) and I still love finding new features even if they're only new to me.
I was a member of an old computer club run by a famous blogger. He used to share Macintosh "Easter eggs" in the newsletter... in the olden days!
Do you have little known browser tips? I'd love to hear 'em.

Here's a Firefox tip that is the BEsT one I've ever read. Many of us know that pressing CTRL-T (or command-t on the Mac) will give a new tab. But, should you close it prematurely, pressing shift-ctrl-T will bring it back. Sort of like an undo for closing tabs. And, it's a multiple undo, as well, reopening all of the tabs you've had open during the current session.
Pretty cool? Yes, and even better since it also brings back any of the sites that would have been in the Back button, as well. All the sites that had led to that site.
I think this works in IE, as well, but... who cares? :-)
How about command-TAB to view all of the open applications and tap the TAB key to scroll through to choose to switch to another app.
Not sure how well know this one is because it took me a while before finding it. In Firefox you can switch to different tabs by using CMD+1 to go to the first tab and CMD+2 to go to the second, etc.
