Firefox Practical tips

Many people like the open source browser Firefox, especially the growing number of excellent extensions, make it more powerful.

Intelligent Keywords:

If you often use a search engine to find something, Firefox has a great tool to help you, but few people know it. Right-click on the Search box and select "Add keyword for this search", enter a keyword and a good note shortcut (e.g. actor), save. When you want to search for actors, you just type "actor actor's name" into the Firefox address bar, and you can immediately call a predefined search to find it. You can use this technique in any search box.
