So I learned something new the other day about mouse control and Firefox.
If you’ve got a middle button, usually it’s also the scroll wheel, you can use it to open links in a new tab if you’re using FireFox!
I love this because I often open new sites in new tabs rather than a new window or on the same page.
So, there ya go, I’m just a little bit geekier, and maybe so are you!

A lot of people know that in IE, if they type in google, then hold CTRL and hit Enter, it automatically puts www. and .com around it for you.
In Firefox, it also works, but you can also hold SHIFT and Enter to automatically use .net instead of .com. CTRL+SHIFT and Enter will result in .org.
So:
google -> CTRL +Enter -> www.google.com
slashdot -> CTRL+SHIFT+Enter -> www.slashdot.org

Thanks for the tips!
I’ve often used the CTRL + Enter feature and have sometimes used the CTRL + SHIFT + Enter one, just not as many sites out there that don’t also own the .com version of their domain.
