So back when I used IE, I would always use the cache and find the embeded stuff with view source and whatever (cache is viewable with about:cache in the URL bar). So I bring my ways to Firefox, when right in front of me the whole time was View Page Info, right below View Page Source. Click the media tab, and there is all the crap you usually have to sort through.

Some people may know this some may not have, I thought it was pretty nifty.

Nifty, is an understatement in my opinion. It's down right SWEET!. Thanks for the tip. I haven't had a reason to examine source code in Firefox lately, so i completely missed it. wohoo!

ctrl-k takes you right to the searchbar. Anyone want to give me a KLM over how much faster that is then mouse click + type in query Smile .

Doh!!!! What's KLM stand for?

And, that CTRL-K is darn handy. I could see myself using it, except I can get to the search tab in firefox by doing a CTRL-T to generate a new tab, and then hit the TAB key to get myself to the searchbox/searchbar (3 keystrokes). Where as, if you don't care about the content of the page that you're already in, which isn't how i normally operate, you can just hit the CTRL-K and overwrite the search page results to your current window (2 keystrokes).

So, if you use a combination as both, your efficiency towards laziness is increased. =) lol
