Firefox Hotkeys

This page lists keyboard shortcuts for Firefox across 12 categories, including Navigation, Windows & Tabs, Search, Bookmarks, History, PDF Viewer, and more. It covers both macOS and Windows shortcuts side by side.

Start with Navigation and Windows & Tabs. Those two cover opening, closing, and switching tabs, going back and forward, and reloading pages. Once those feel natural, Search and Bookmarks shortcuts are the next most useful.

The structure is the same, but the modifier keys differ. macOS uses Cmd where Windows uses Ctrl for most shortcuts. A few shortcuts, like those in the Focused Tab Bar or Miscellaneous categories, may have platform-specific variations, so check the page if something does not work as expected.

Not at all. Most people rely on fewer than 20 shortcuts day to day. This page is meant as a reference, not a study guide. Use the category sections to find shortcuts for tasks you do repeatedly, and ignore the rest.
