Mozilla Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts

This is a list of the most common keyboard shortcuts in Mozilla Firefox compared with the shortcuts to equivalent actions in Internet Explorer and Opera. If you have enabled Emacs-style text editing shortcuts in GNOME, they will also work in Firefox. When an Emacs text editing shortcut conflicts with the default shortcuts (as occurs with CtrlCmd+K), the Emacs shortcut will take preference if focus is inside a textbox (which would include the location bar and search bar). In such cases you should use the alternate keyboard shortcut if one is listed below.
