But still most of us are not aware of some of the coolest Firefox tricks that will really enhance thebrowsing experience with this wonderful browser.I have collected my favorite and Coolest 7 Firefox tricks.

So here are the best 7 Tricks for Firefox browser

1. More space on the screen: Using smaller icons will get more space on the screen within the browser. To do this go to:View>Toolbars>Customize>Click on “Use small icons.

2. Use keywords: You can make your search a bit faster by customizing the Firefox search bar. It is best to use for frequently visited sites, such as Wikipedia.com

Open wikipedia.com and Right click search bar of wikipedia. Now you will see a option to Add keyword for this search click on it and enter an easy keyword that you can remember, for example, “wiki“

Now,When you want something on wikipedia, type Wiki in Firefox address Bar followed by your search term.

Like: wiki human history

When you press Enter key it will search wikipedia for human history and show you the results.

You can do this for any search box on any website.

For”.com“ press Ctrl + Enter for “.Org” press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
