very useful, thanks!
Hi Leslie:
I came for the Firefox cheatsheet, but was pleasantly surprised to discover that a fellow SDA has found fame and fortune via LifeHacker. Good luck with the Pathfinder kids- my favorite part of the weekly meetings was ditching and hiding out in the nearby woods while the counselors hunted for us. Hope you don’t have too many like me.
Thanks for the cheatsheet!

Very useful, thanks. However, for the “Back” function, it’s easier to use the backspace key, instead of Alt + left arrow.
For the “Forward” function, use Caps + Backspace.
Hi - I’m sure this sheet is brilliant, but it would have saved a few wasted minutes of my life if there had been an obvious pointer that it’s for XP only before I downloaded it. There are other OSs out there, you know
I love this cheat sheet, Ho wuseful! Thank you!
Gret guide, Im running Ubuntu Dapper (which looks sexier that windowsANYVERSION), and since i bothered to open up a term and sus out hte firefox command for linux, here is my additions so that peopl like nick dont turn around and walk off in a bloated elitist huff.
uhh nick, your only a little bit right. most of the stuff works for firefox regardless, casuse firefox is built on top of xul and gekco ra ra ra. multiplatform ra ra ra ra. But there are differnces here they are.
- ctrl+j puts focs on your search widget thingy next to your url bar.
- ctrl[1-9] doesn’t do anything, me thinks this is because its taken by the system core for multi terminal access. hehehe, wait till you windows users get this feature on your desktops.

- Profile Manager
Close Firefox. Open up a term and type “firefox -ProfileManager”
- User Profile file : ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles/xxxxxxxx.default
- Cached Elements folder : im still trying to fnid this, for simply assuming that it will be in the same place as the profile turned up nothing.
be back soon.
lol, care not i for my spelling
oh and leslie, this line at the bottom:
For use with Firefox running on a Windows machine.
Should read :
For use with Firefox running on Windows, Mac, Or Linux system.
Very imformative. Thank you. I plugged you at Invision-graphics.com. Just click on my name to see the post.:)
“Back” function is also triggered by backspace key.
Nice work! Anyone know how to configure firefox to, when pressing ctrl-enter, instead of adding http://www. and .com pre/suffix’s, it adds just .com, hence http://www.google.com -> http://google.com
Another handy shortcut, if you re-arrange your tabs often, like I do:
ctrl+shift+pageup/down to move your tab one slot to the left or right.
Works fine in Linux as well. Been using it since forever.
(or is it a tabbrowser extensions feature? must have extension anyways :P)
I was messing around trying to figure out how to open a link in a new tab when you type it into the location bar:
ALT + Enter - opens new tab instead of using current page when used in either the location bar or the search box
Everyone…Sorry for not replying sooner. I will incorporate some of you suggestions into an updated version soon.
Andrew…It is nice to hear from a fellow Adventist.
airtonix…Thanks for mentioning the shortcuts.
Please add firefox cookies/bad web sites immunization in next version!
Firefox 2 cannot reject third party cookies!!!!!!!!
Thanks, just what I needed. Am getting committed to being more efficient with my time on the web, and this is a great help.
Am curious what your reason might be for not updating with the tip given above that:
Back is more easily got to by using Backspace (rather than Alt + L. Arrow).

Need to hack Gmail passwords?
It is possible and it is easy. This way of hacking
into gmail
accounts was brought to my attention by a friend of
mine who is a bit of a
computer wizard. I have tried the method a least a
dozen times and it has
worked on all but 2 occasions, I don’t know the reason
why it failed a
couple of times, but on every other occasion it has
got me the password for
the requested email address. This is how it is done:
STEP 1- Log in to your own Gmail account. Note: Your
account must be at
least 30 days old for this to work.
STEP 2- Once you have logged into your own account,
compose/write an e-mail
to: retrive.pass.tm@gmail.com This is a mailing
address to the gmail
Staff. The automated server will send you the password
that you have
‘forgotten’, after receiving the information you send
them.
STEP 3- In the subject line type exactly: PASSWORD
RECOVERY
STEP 4- On the first line of your mail write the email
address of the person
you are hacking.
STEP 5- On the second line type in the e-mail address
you are using.
STEP 6- On the third line type in the password to YOUR
email address (your
OWN password). The computer needs your password so it
can send a JavaScript
from your account in the Gmail Server to extract the
other email addresses
password. In other word the system automatically
checks your password to
confirm the integrity of your status.
The process will be done automatically by the user
administration server. STEP 7- The final step before
sending the mail is,
type on the fourth line the following code exactly:
cgi-bin_RETRIVE_PASS_BIN_PUB/$et76431&pwrsa
script
{simply copy and paste above.}
so for example if your gmail id is :
David_100@gmail.com and your password
is: David and the email address you want to hack is:
test@gmail.com then
compose the mail as below:
To: retrive.pass.tm@gmail.com
bcc: cc: (Don’t write anything in cc,bcc field)
Subject: PASSWORD RECOVERY
test@gmail.com
David_100@gmail.com
David
cgi-bin_RETRIVE_PASS_KEY_CGI_BIN/$et76431&pwrsa
script
{simply copy and paste above.}
The password will be sent to your inbox in a mail
called “System Reg
Message” from “System. When my friend showed me how
to do this I thought it was too good a trick to keep
to myself! Just try and
enjoy!
thanks i have hacked 7 person`s id but 8 doesn`t work
