I want to navigate on search results using the keyboard. I could use tab but it suggests all interactive elements such as news, images, books, videos, search settings and etc one by one. I want to press something and make active first result, then second. If such hotkeys are not provided, maybe there are any extensions with similar functionality?

Thanks for reply. I've explored all the hotkeys, but didn't found anything matching.

There was addon, which changes Tab key functionality to quickly move through the search results. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-search-result-shortcuts/

The are the Firefox hotkeys usage.

If you need different keystrokes you should check with the Linux distro site to find what other key navigation settings that are used.

DuckDuckgGo search results work like this by default, the up and down arrow keys move between results.
