Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts For Mac

The Safari is the default browser in macOS computers. Though you can install the safari alternatives, many users still prefer using the default browser.

  1. Instead, it focuses on the Web Console's command line. To close the Web Console, use the global toolbox shortcut of Ctrl + Shift + I (Cmd + Opt + I on a Mac). Before Firefox 55, the keyboard shortcut was Ctrl + Shift + Q (Cmd + Opt + Q on a Mac).
  2. Keyboard shortcuts work great on safari and chrome browser and on my iphone, but they don't work on Firefox / Tor browser. How can make it to work on Tor/Firefox browser on mac?
  3. Restoring Text Shortcuts On The Same / Another Mac. Restoring text shortcuts on the same or another Mac is quite easy. All you need to do is open up the same window (System Preferences - Keyboard - Text”), and drag and drop the “Text Substitutions.plist” file in any one of the two columns, as shown below.

On Mac browsers, ⌘+Dcreates a bookmark, the equivalent to move to the address bar is ⌘+L. I've used the Keyboard pref pane to remap ⌘+Dto the 'Open Location.' Command in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. In Safari this works great.

The safari browser is known for protecting user privacy and safety. It also has plenty of built-in features that are offered by the competitive browsers like Chrome and Firefox browser.

It has features like the password manager, address and contact profile, reading list, and also got extensions support along with in-built developer support.

Along with all these great features, the Apple Safari also offers support for keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys. You can fully control the safari browser with these hotkey actions.

I’ve listed the best and most useful keyboard shortcuts that you can memorize and make yourself productive. The Safari is only available for macOS machines, but do not support other operating systems like Windows OS.
