As you all know, the popular web-browser, Firefox 3 has already set the internet & blogging community on fire with its awesome bar, drastically reduced memory usage, malware protection and other great features. Percy has blogged about a list of cool Mozilla Firefox 3 features that you might not have heard about.

For all you readers who have missed out on this before :) If there are more, then do let me know! :)

  1. To duplicate tabs: press Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) while dragging a tab to create a duplicate of the dragged tab including its history.
  2. To move tabs to another window: just drag a tab and drop it on another window to move it. If the dragged tab is the last one in its window, it will be closed.
  3. To resize the search bar: you can drag the handler between them (invisible on Windows and Linux) to resize it.
  4. To add keyword search: select Manage Search Engines… in the search engines menu to open the Search Engines Manager, select a search engine, press “Edit Keyword” and enter a few characters to define one. Now you can enter the keyword followed by your search terms in the location bar to search with that plugin.
  5. For discontinuous selections: make a selection with the mouse, press Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) and make additional selections to copy or print just what you want.
  6. For integrated add-ons: there is no need to visit Mozilla Add-ons because Firefox 3 brings it to you directly from the Add-ons Manager new Get Add-ons page: search, find and install with a single click.
  7. To check your crashes: enter “about:crashes” in the location bar to get a list of crashes submitted by Breakpad (Mozilla’s crash reporter). Click on a crash report to get details provided by Socorro (Mozilla’s crash reports server).
