My top 8 time-saving Firefox shortcuts

Firefox is a fantastic tool. I especially appreciate its ability to be controlled using the keyboard rather than the dreaded mouse. Below you'll find my favorite time-saving shortcuts for Firefox 2 and Firefox 3! For the sake of novelty, the shortcuts are presented in "the order of most surprise":
  1. ctrl + shift + t :: Re-open last closed tab
  2. ctrl + 1 ... 9 :: Go to specific tab
  3. ctrl + k :: Focus (google) search field
  4. ctrl + w :: Close current tab
  5. ctrl + t :: Open new tab
  6. ctrl + l :: Goto location bar (or alt + d (subsequent 'tab' to go search (google) field)
  7. ctrl + tab / ctrl + shift + tab :: cycle to next/previous tab
  8. / :: find text on page (or ctrl + f)
Good luck and enjoy your new browsing experience...

ps. Thanks to Omar Palomino Sandoval for suggesting alternative short cuts..
