In Firefox I often use Ctrl-K to get to the search box, enter my search terms, and then use Alt-Enter to open the results in a new tab. Keyboard shortcuts in any application are great time savers.

I've just started using Firefox, and though I've been exploring on my own, it's been helpful reading this article. I'm really interested in learning more about the extensions you can used for Firefox. Thanks for that article.

Think of it as an MSIE tab within Firefox just as you will see MSIE operations internal to FeedDemon or Quicken. By far, the most useful FF Extension for my activities.
