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.
