ctrl+shift+enter will add http://www. and .org

Tip: You can work offline like in IE by clicking File>Work Offline. This means that you can browse your

previously visited pages even when you're offline.

Tip: If you wish to remove an item from your Address Bar Drop down menu, Highlight it

WITHOUT CLICKING and use Shift+Delete

Tip: A bookmarks's position Dragged & Dropped (ie. change position in a Folder or move from one folder

to another or move to another position on the toolbar) by highlighting it & clicking on it (WITHOUT LETTING GO) and Dragging it to your desired

position

Tip: A Folder can be move the same way as above tip but u MUST hold down the SHIFT key while Dragging

Tip: Former/current users

of IE who are accustomed to copying items from "Temporary Internet Files" folder (FireFox calls it "Cache" ) can achieve the same results by

Tools--->Page Info and then select the "Media" Tab, then Highlight the item u want to download and clicking "Save As..."

Tip: If u accidentally delete a

bookmark and want to recover it, if it is not already open then, open the "Bookmarks Manager" (Bookmarks--->Manage Bookmarks) and either use Ctrl+Z or

Edit--->Undo (in The Bookmarks Manager)

Tip: DoubleClicking a file entry in the Downloads Manager will open/launch the file (provided u haven't

moved it yet)
