I am always on the look out for tools and techniques to reduce the number of clicks and typing. Keyconfig + functions for keyconfig add-ons are essential for any power user that wants to increase their productivity.
A note regarding functions for keyconfig add-on: As of this post it can’t be installed in Firefox w/o forcing compatibility. Go here to learn how.
If you are not using Keyconfig add-on in Firefox, you are really missing a lot. It’s a great time saver and makes you navigate your way around in Firefox much quicker.
