Some cool shortcuts for Fx and Flock!

Cool Shortcuts and Tips

    * Mouse Scroll Button - did you know that clicking on a link with a mouse scroll button opens it in a new tab.
    * Slash (/) - better alternative to ‘Ctrl+F’ shortcut that’s used for within page search. Cool part about it is that you don’t have to close it, it disappears on its own. (Use ‘F3′ for next and ‘SHIFT + F3′ for previous)
    * Apostrophe (’) - similar to the “/” shortcut but this one searches only among page’s hyperlinks.
    * How To login without visiting the login page in firefox [read it on Geektronica.com]
    * Open Search Results In New Tab [via: tech-recipes.com] – by default when you search from the firefox toolbar, search results displayed within the currently active tab. This tip shows how to change that and let them launch them in a new tab [HowTo: type 'about:config' in the URL box -> find 'browser.search.openintab' -> double click it to change the value to 'true']
    * Stop Window Resizing [via downloadsquad.com] - sometimes you may stumble upon annoying websites that resize your browser window. Here is how to ensure that your window size always stays the same. [HowTo: Go to Tools(or 'Edit' for OS X and Linux users) -> Preferences -> Content -> click 'Advanced' to the right of 'Enable Javascript' -> uncheck 'Move or Resize Existing Windows']
    * Assign Keywords to your Bookmarks - yet another cool firefox feature that lets you assign a desired keyword to any of your bookmarks, and later use it in the address bar as a shortcut to your bookmark. [HowTo: right-click on the bookmark -> Properties -> navigate to the 'Keyword' field and enter desired(easy-to-remember) keyword -> OK]
    * How to work with groups of tabs in Firefox (lifehacker.com) - quick rundown on how to bookmark a group of open tabs, launch a folder full of bookmarks in tabs, and set a group of tabs as your Firefox home page,
