null Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 instead of just double-clicking links like normal, right-click them and select Open in New Tab. when you get used to it, you really love it. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 instead of just double-clicking links like normal, right-click them and select Open in New Tab. when you get used to it, you really love it. I love it. or if you are like me who has a hand on the keyboard most of the time, use ctrl+click to open links in a new tab. or install the mouse-gestures extension and make some funky gesture open the link in another tab. :) ciao!

kmc77 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Or you can Ctrl+T if you want to just open a blank tab, for a new search, etc. I'm terrible about havng 7 or 8 tabs with diffrent searches open at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkelve Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 One more tip: I you hover your mouse over the tabs and use the scroll wheel, it will switch between different tabs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 another tip: start using the search bar on the toolbar, it becomes indispensable. iphitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 speed I recently did some speed tests almost by accident I 'swapped' radio keyb's aroiund with the connect button but it was still on the old keyb. I had a 64 bit firefox running on a 64 bit kernel 2.6 in gentoo and a 32 bit opera running on a 2.6 mandrake .... when I typed and pressed enter it was in both.... amazingly Opera was a lot faster than firefox on everything. I hadnt realised how much but it was a massive difference .... this could be my crap kernel compile .... etc. but it was the bleeding edge firefox...
