    Almost all of the commands worked in Fire Fox as well. I believe there were only one or two that weren’t the same. Should have slapped up a Fire Fox referral link, and told of the benefits of it though. If you are still using IE, I highly suggest you at least give FF a chance. It speeds up your computer so much that you won’t even believe it until you actually do it. Thanks though, I learned a few new shortcuts for Fire Fox!

    @PChere

    Weird saying hi PChere - go on - tell us your name :) thanks for stopping by and leaving the comment; I’m glad you found some useful

    @Jared - thanks. I did do a post a few weeks ago about Firefox Tricks - and am myself now a Firefox fan - had to give up on Billy (sadly) he makes it too hard :)

    I am contemplating putting up a post about the benefits of FF - so thanks for suggesting it.
