Mouse Shortcuts
This is a list of the most common mouse shortcuts in Firefox, and the equivalents in Internet Explorer and Opera. The shortcuts are for Windows, but most of the Firefox shortcuts should work in Linux too.
Command | Firefox | Internet Explorer | Opera |
---|---|---|---|
Back | Shift+Scroll down | Shift+Scroll down | Shift+Scroll down |
Close Tab | Middle-click on Tab 1 | Feature Not Available | Shift+Left-click |

1: A Middle-click on a tab closes it on Windows by default. However, in Linux it pastes whatever is currently in the Clipboard and visits that site (or performs a search). This can be changed by setting the middlemouse.contentLoadURL pref to either true
(for the Content Load URL feature) or false
(for closing the tab).
2: By default, Ctrl+Left-click opens the link in a background tab (which will keep you navigating on the page you clicked the link on) and Shift+Ctrl+Left-click opens the link in a foreground tab. In order to reverse this behavior, select Tools > Options..., click on Advanced and check the Select new tabs from open links option.
