Move back faster in your browser


The most commonly used feature in Internet browsers is the back button. In addition to going back one page at a time, all browsers today also support the ability of going back to any recently visited page. To access this feature either click on the small down arrow next to the back buttons (as shown in the below picture) or hold the back button down.
 
Holding the back button down or click the down arrow will show the most recent pages you've visited and allow you to go back to the page of your choice. This feature is especially helpful for those pesky pages that forward you to another page each time you press the back button or for any time you need to go back more than one page.
Chrome back buttonIn the picture to the right, is an example of the Google Chrome back button which displays the back menu when holding down the mouse button. Instead of clicking the back button once, click and hold the mouse button down until a menu appears. Once this menu appears, click on any of the links to go back to that page.
Bonus tip: The browser can go back even further than what is shown in the menu. If the page you're wanting to go back to is even further back then the pages shown, click the last page and then repeat the above steps again until you get back to where you need to go.

Hide and tweak the Firefox download window


Remove that pesky download window that appears after downloading a file by adding the Firefox Download Statusbar Add-on to your browser. Alternatively editing the about:config settings as shown below can also disable this window from being displayed.
  1. Open a new tab in Firefox.
  2. In the address bar typeabout:config
  3. Locate browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting by copying and pasting the bold text into the Filter box.
  4. Double-click the name or value to change the value from True to False. Once done close the tab.
If you've hidden your download Window it can still viewed by clicking Tools and then Downloads or pressing Ctrl + J.
