Now learn how to be more productive with it, courtesy of PC World’s 15 undocumented Firefox tips. The article includes keyboard shortcuts, Web-search tweaks, security tips, and optimization tricks that promise to improve Firefox’s performance. I’m a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts, so here’s a sampling from that section:

To enter a URL or search criterion into the address bar, press either <Ctrl>-L or <Alt>-D. If you just entered a domain name into the address bar, don’t bother adding “.com”; instead, press <Ctrl>-<Enter> to insert that suffix and go to the page. For “.org,” use <Ctrl>-<Shift>-<Enter>; for “.net,” <Shift>-<Enter>.
