 | Alt-left_arrow | Go back. Returns to
the page visited before the current one. By clicking on it more
than once, you can go back more than one page, but some pages use
automatic redirection so this may not always work. Keeping this
button pressed (or clicking on the little black triangle at its
right) will show you a list of all the pages you can access
through this feature. |
 | Alt-right_arrow | Go forward. Returns to the page
visited after the current one. The comments for the
“Go back” button apply. |
 | Ctrl-R | Reload. Refreshes the current
page. By default, the browser will first look for the page
in its cache (on-disk temporary storage space) and use the
local copy, if relevant. Press the Shift
key while clicking on the reload button to force the
browser to fetch the page from the network. |
 | Esc | Stop. Stops transferring the
currently requested object and will therefore cancel the
page currently being loaded. Notice that we use the word
“object” instead of “page” since
web pages might be not only HTML code, but images and
other media too. |
 | | Home page. Returnsyou to the default
Firefox home page which you can set through the
+->
sub-menu.
|
 | | Engines. Filling this field
with a keyword (such as Linux) will send for a
request in one of the predefined search engines, such as
Googletm, Yahoo! and
Creative Commons. By clicking
on the Googletm logo, you can even customize your engines
by clicking on Add Engines.
