Mouseless Power Browsing Using Firefox

If you use Firefox, constantly jumping from mouse to keyboard is quite time consuming. Clicking on links can be easily achieved by using the keyboard itself.

Step 1: Activate “search for text when I start typing” option under General tab in Advanced options. [Tools > Options > Advanced > General Tab]
Step 2: Start typing whatever link you want to access. For example, instead of moving my mouse to the top to click “send us a tip” I just type “sen” and it highlights that link. Press enter to access that
link.

This seriously saves a lot of time, especially if you are working on a laptop without mouse. Plus if you’re a touchtypist, it makes it even more convenient.

If you are not too happy with that and want more keyboard firefoxy goodness, I’d recommend a very unknown firefox extension called Mouseless Browsing. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.
