This is a list of Firefox keyboard shortcuts for working with tabs, bookmarks, searching the web, playing media files and more.

This is a list of keyboard shortcuts in Mozilla Firefox. {for linux}If you have enabled Emacs-style text editing shortcuts in GNOME, they will also work in Firefox. When an Emacs text editing shortcut conflicts with the default shortcuts (as occurs with {key Ctrl}+{key K}), the Emacs shortcut will take precedence if focus is inside a text box (which would include the location bar and search bar). In such cases you should use the alternate keyboard shortcut if one is listed below.{/for} {for fx55}{for mac}{note}'''Mac (OS X El Capitan) users:''' You can now create Mac shortcuts for Firefox.
