Hi Greg,
There isn’t an option to do that in FireFox as far as I can tell. Your best bet may be to try something like Tab Mix Plus which provides all sorts of extra options for tabbed browsing.

Thanks for the tips.

One thing that bothers me about Firefox is the new window command does not open a new window like in explorerer that has the current URL and viewed page history.

Is there a command to get this?

That would be most helpful!

Thanks

That’s a great shortcut James, like you say very usefull for SEO or just figuring out how a designer achieved a certain effect. It’s command + U on a Mac.

I love short-cuts and have taught them to me computer students for more than 20 years. So much faster than using the mouse in most cases.

I have another FireFox shortcut I love and that is Control+U on Windows, sorry not sure what it would be on the Mac, but likely the same thing.

Control+U opens the source code for the page you are currently browsing, very useful for the SEO stuff.

Hi Helen. if you want to go back within the same tab, the backspace key will do the trick. That should work for all platforms FireFox runs on.

Hope that helps.

hi and thanks for your tips. However I cannot get ‘back’ to work on my Firefox. Please can you explain again? I do not want to change tabs - I want to go ‘back’ on the same tab.
