FirefoX RoX! here are some haX Part 1

Hi!

Remember how some folks complained that there’s no point in opening Firefox inside Firefox? 👿 Well, here’s a useful trick for you! 😀

You know what happens when you type a “word” into the Firefox address bar, right? Yep, it triggers a Google search for that “word.” For example, if you type “wordpress” in the address bar and hit Enter, Firefox will run a Google search for “wordpress.”

But what if you actually want to visit wordpress.com or wordpress.org? Here’s the trick!

First, open a new tab in Firefox by pressing Ctrl+T. Type “ANYTHING” in the address bar, then press Ctrl+Enter. It’ll automatically add http:// and .com taking you to http://www.ANYTHING.com.

If you press Shift+Enter, it’ll go to http://www.ANYTHING.net. And if you hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter, it’ll add http:// and .org, sending you to http://www.ANYTHING.org.

How cool is that? 😕 Okay, maybe not that cool, but I’m sure it’s handy!

  1. Yeah, Firefox hotkeys. This is not a new feature. But yeah, useful sometimes….

    Firefox inside Firefox : cool title, cool trick, no usability, and old trick 😀

  2. There’s an even simpler way to do that.
    Say go to “Google” and save it to your bookmarks, naming it “Google”
    Then just type “Google” into your address bar and Google will come up. Works with any website.

  3. My way is more like david’s. “wordpress.com” is already in my web address box so i just had to do a few key strokes (down) to choose from the url list shown in the pull down menu.

  4. thanks for the comments guys(and gals)
    I’m sorry Maraya I don’t know how to auto complete .de I’ll try my best to find if there’s anything 🙂
