Firefox LogoTry these:

  • Type a keyword into Firefox’s URL bar then press CTRL-Enter. You’ll end up @ http://www.keyword.com.
  • Type a keyword into Firefox’s URL bar then press SHIFT-Enter. You’ll end up @ http://www.keyword.net.
  • Type a keyword into Firefox’s URL bar then press CTRL-SHIFT-Enter. You’ll end up @ http://www.keyword.org.
