Quick Firefox Mouse Shortcuts Guide

If there's something that can be faster than keyboard shortcuts, then I can't think about anything else than mouse shortcuts, since most voice recognition applications are simply funny attempts in a field that still needs time to become accessible to people like you and me that don't work in Area 51...

Here's the deal - if you want to be faster than using the keyboard, in Firefox, you can combine the mouse and keyboard, by using some of the following mouse shortcuts:

1. Shift+Scroll Down - the same as the Back command, goes to the previous page
2. Middle click on a tab - closes that tab (works this way only in Windows)
3. Ctrl+Scroll Up/Down - increase/decrease text size on the current page
4. Shift+Scroll Up - the opposite of the first shortcut, moves to the next page, if there's any available, of course
5. Ctrl+Left click - opens the current link in a background tab
6. Ctrl+Shift+Left click - opens the current link in a foreground tab
7. Shift+Left click - opens the link below the cursor in a new Firefox window
8. Shift+Reload button - reloads the current page, overriding cache
9. Alt+Scroll Up/Down - scroll line by line

These are the best mouse shortcuts I found so far, but if they are not enough for you, using a mouse gestures plugin seems to be a wise decision. About this... in the near future, I promise!
