The 5 Most Useful Firefox Shortcuts

Although Safari has broken onto the Windows platform, it is still no match for Firefox in terms of features and security. In order to further increase productivity and efficiency in Firefox, here are (in my opinion) the five most useful Firefox keyboard shortcuts.
New Tab (Ctrl-T)
Self explanatory. Should be noted that the location bar smartly takes focus.
Close Tab (Ctrl-W or Ctrl-F4)
Instead of positioning your mouse over that little red X on the tab, Ctrl-W does the trick. Ctrl-F4 works too but it isn’t as easy to press.
Undo Close Tab (Ctrl-Shift-T)
Accidentally closed that very important tab you had opened? Quickly bring it back with this little known but very handy shortcut. Right-clicking on the tab bar->Undo Close Tab will do the same thing.
Select Location Bar (Alt-D or Ctrl-L)
Quickly type in a new address. Upon selection, the entire location bar field is highlighted.
Select Search Bar (Ctrl-K)
Much like selecting the location bar, the entire field is highlighted so you can quickly perform a search. (Ctrl-J for Linux users)
