Firefox For Dummies
The Go menu (shown in Figure A-5) allows you to return to Web sites you visited recently.
Back
Takes you back to the last page you visited in the current tab or window. This is the same as clicking the Back button on the Navigation Toolbar.
This command is unavailable when you're viewing the first Web site you visited in the current tab or window.
Shortcuts Alt+
Forward
Takes you forward one page in history. In other words, suppose you search Ask Jeeves (http://www.ask.com) for improving short-term memory and click the first search result. But by the time the new page finishes loading, you've forgotten what you're doing there, so you click Back to return to the search results page. A few seconds later, you remember again. Now you can click Forward to return to the page on improving your memory — and please, read it carefully. This command has the same effect as clicking the Forward button in the Navigation Toolbar.
This command is unavailable when you haven't used the Back command and there are no pages to go forward to.
Shortcut Alt+→ or Shift+Backspace when the page is selected (
Home
Takes you to your Firefox home page. This is the same as clicking the Home button on the Navigation Toolbar.
Shortcut Alt+Home (Option+Home on a Mac)
See Chapters 2 and 16 for more information about what a home page is and how to set it.
The list of Web sites
After the Home command, the Go menu contains a list of the last ten Web sites you visited in any Firefox tab or window at any time. Click on any Web site to load it in the current tab or window. In Windows, do any of the following: Shift+click to load it in a new window or Ctrl+click to load it in a new tab. If your mouse has a middle button, you can also middle-click a site to load it in a new tab.
History
Shows or hides the History Sidebar, which contains a list of sites you've visited recently. This command is the same as choosing View
Shortcut Ctrl+H (
See Chapter 6 for more information about the History Sidebar.
