Yup absolutely it's a matter of personal preference. I just wanted to see how people operate, my comment about alt+d then tab wasn't meant to say he was doin something wrong; I was just suggesting an alternate method. (Not many people know about alt+d)Originally Posted by SLK001
I used to hate tabs and always use new windows. (BTW Shift+Click a link in FF is new window while ctrl+click is new tab...for anyone who didn't know). But I've been using them more and more recently. For instance when I read slashdot at lunch I open any full articles or linked articles in new tabs to follow-up on them once I'm done reading through the list of headings/blurbs on the main page.For instance, I absolutely hate tabs. I therefore love the ability that Firefox gives me to customize my browser the way I like it. Three cheers for "userChrome.css" and customability! And three cheers for "Firefox" and it's decision to allow almost complete user configuration of the UI!

I use the home button many times a day, as I have an actual homepage, but it's basically a page of links of my favorites: the forums I visit every day, news sites, search engines, etc.
Tabs are the best thing since sliced bread. When I goto a forum and search for new threads, I will typically right-click-T to open the new threads in their own tab, so I can treat them individually instead of going back and forth or repeatedly clicking 'new threads' after every time I post.
"\x74\x68\x65\x70\x72\x65\x7a\x39\x38";
My homepage is a set of a bunch of pages I check everday. Gmail, These Forums, Slashdot, Gizmodo, Engadget, craigslist, oh yeah and my work webpage. I suppose that is very important. If I hit HOME it opens them all. Otherwise I just have the links on the toolbar at the top.
I'm not very handy with the keyboard in any OS. I AM handy with the keyboard in Counterstrike. Do a Running Jump-Crouch Zoom Snipe Boom Headshot Nade throw! YEAH!
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!
Ya all my daily visit sites sit on my link bar.
Here's a list of my favs. Sadly this is for Winblows, which I'm forced to deal with daily at work and for family, therefore I like to know the fastest ways to do thingsI'm not very handy with the keyboard in any OS.

@Thorin
How many people do you think will try some of these after reading them? I tried a handful lol.
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!
Keyboards? They're so '70s. Me, I'm kinda a lazy ass, so when I'm a surfin' Algore's miracle invention, one of my hands is "restin' comfortably" somewhere. And let me tell you, it ain't all that happy when it gets called on to do somethin' useful - so, I try to let sleeping dogs lie!
Is that something dirty? I dont wanna know where your left hand is resting while surfing the pr0n4ge of the inturweb. Gross Man!

Hopefully lots, and hopefully they'll find them useful.

No, the free hand isn't restin' there!
Hey, I said that I was lazy, didn't I?!
