I'm trying to migrate from Opera to Firefox, and I've found several add-ons to make it happen, but there is still one thing missing. Opera had the speed dial, so anywhere I was, if I hit Ctrl+1, it opened Gmail (for me), and Ctrl+2, it opened Facebook, etc, in order how they were on my homepage. Anyone has an idea to make it happen? Thanks!

Solution

Firefox uses Ctrl+1 to 8 to select tab 1-8, and Ctrl+9 to select the last tab.

You can override the default behavior by using the Speed Dial add-on by Josep del Rio; just make sure to enable the Load in blank new tabs option. Check the official manual for further information and customization options.

Tested with Firefox 27.0.1.

First of all I'm not familiar with speeddial in opera, but if it is like the speeddial I know for firefox this might do the trick: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fvd-speed-dial/ (not to sure about the ctrl + {1,2,..} function)

Also you can add a keyword to a bookmark (say fb for facebook). Type this keyword in your addressbar and hit enter and firefox will open de link you connected.

I hope this helps you.

  • the important thing would be the hotkey, not the speed dial. Tried fvd-speed-dial, it didn't have the hotkeys. keyword bookmarks are still a long overhead.. but thanks for your answer!
