We briefly mentioned a few keyboard shortcuts for Firefox a while ago, but there are many others I'm sure you already know - and which usually work across all main browsers, like Ctrl+T to open a new tab or clicking the mouse's wheel on a link to open it in the background.

However today we won't focus on keyboard-only shortcuts; we'll talk about mouse and keyboard combinations, which enable you to perform different tasks by pressing a given key while clicking with your mouse.
