Do you remember the 5 Firefox 3 Tips article? There are so many Firefox tricks to master, and even if you're not using the Internet on a daily basis, I am sure you'll find some time savers to match your way of handling a computer. After all, Internet users are, basically, split into two big categories: those that can't get enough, and those that use the computer at work, but are not IT or media professionals, and when they get home, they usually try to avoid using it more than a few minutes per day, just as much as they need to read some emails or copy some DVDs they shot last weekend.

OK, so no matter the user category you think you belong to, I have some goodies ready for you! Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide... ;)

1. To open one of the recently closed tabs, but not the last one - simply go to the History menu, and then point to Recently Closed Tabs. As you can see, only the first one in the list has a keyboard shortcut associated with it, Ctrl+Shift+T, a combination we talked about already, in the Firefox 3 review, if I recall it well. Getting back to our tip here, all you have to do is click one site in the list, or use the Open All in Tabs command to open all at once.

2. Are you a programmer, and need to troubleshoot a page you are working on? Just load the page, and then press Ctrl+Shift+J to bring forward the Error Console or, if you like to waste precious time, go to the Tools menu, and then click on Error Console, as slow as possible, if you're paid on an hourly basis...;)

3. At last, you should know how to report fake websites and those that cause problems in Firefox 3, to help making everyone's life better. How to do that? Just go to the Help menu, and pick on of these two options - Report Broken Web Site or Report Web Forgery. After you do that, you'll surely feel better, believe me! ;)

I know there may be more than just these, so come out and say it loud. I can't hear you! What? Louder! I will retreat now, you have that add your comment button below, use it!
