Random Firefox Tips 2

Before I used Firefox, I used Opera. Opera is more of an all-in-one package; it contains a whole lot more funcionality than Firefox out of the box. With Firefox, you have to use Add-Ons for most of Opera’s features. One example of this is Speed Dial, which is a customizable page that’s displayed when you open a new tab in Opera. You can get this in Firefox with this Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4810.

Firefox 3 integrates one of Opera’s niftiest features: keyword search. This is one of those super-useful things that streamlines your work. The concept is that the search bar on any webpage on the net can be accessed right from your address bar by using a keyword before your search parameter. For example, suppose I search for torrents on isohunt very often, then I go to the isohunt homepage, right-click on the search bar and click “Add A Keyword for This Search”. I made the keyword “iso”, but you can make it whatever you want. Now whenever I’m searcing for torrents, I can enter iso [name of file here] is the address bar.
