As we all know, there are two devices that can be used to input data into the computer. If you want to open a particular file on your computer, you can either use your keyboard to open the file or you can use the mouse to open that file. The same is true for the operation of web browsing software application as well. You can use the keyboard to surf the internet or you can use the mouse to surf the internet.
Normally, you are required to make combined use of the keyboard and the mouse to use any web browsing software application. Many people find the compulsion to switch from the keyboard to the mouse and vice versa very cumbersome. For example, to use the keyboard to type the name of the website and to move your hand to the mouse and take the cursor to the ‘go’ button to view the web site typed in the address bar can be very irritating if you have to do this a hundred times in a day.
That is the reason why web browsers offer keyboard shortcuts. If you do not want to constantly switch from the mouse to the keyboard or vice versa, you can always type the name of the web site in the address bar and press the enter button on your keyboard instead of using the mouse. While this is a very simple example of a shortcut, the extent of convenience offered to the user of your browsing software application in the form of keyboard and mouse shortcuts differs from one web browser to another.

However, Mozilla Firefox has not stopped at incorporating the keyboard shortcuts available in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. It just gone ahead and offered many keyboard and mouse shortcuts of its own that make it very easy to use your web browsing software application to surf the internet.
