Today I stumbled across a blog post about voting for your favorite
Firefox keyboard shortcut. I thought to myself, “I wonder just how
shortcuts there are?” I know the old standby’s like CTRL-C to copy,
CTRL-V to paste, and my favorite…CTRL-T to open a new tab. (Yes, I know
more too, but these are a sample) Lo’ and behold…I found even more!
Some of them have already changed my surfing habits! I’m much faster
now. How about CTRL-L which highlights and selects the address bar….or
try this…
Type a word in the address bar such as “openoffice” (no quotes)
Now press CTRL-Enter Voila! Firefox automatically puts in the www
and .com for you! To use .org press SHIFT-CTRL-ENTER and for .net use
SHIFT-ENTER. Pretty cool huh? Between CTRL-L and the others, I can
pretty much avoid using the mouse or trackpad most of the time!
Find out all about the shortcuts and more on this page from the folks who bring you Firefox! Click Here

I am a teacher and have used openoffice , mozilla, celestia to name a few. Currently there is an explosion of web based 'software' that requires no download and provides rich learning experiences, ie mindmeister, jing, voicethread to name some. Visit our class blog, we have podcasts made on audacity!
