Firefox Usability Questions

[dodo]

ok, i'm still getting used to Firefox here, and i had a couple questions (namely things i used to do in IE that i cant figure out in FF) I was browsing the FF plugins page, and i havent found any that address these issues.

1. Is there a hotkey to get to the search box? I know Alt-D takes me to the address bar, but i'd like a hotkey to the google search thing (like Alt-G for IE's google toolbar)

Edit: I see now that typing search terms in the address bar will take me to the first google listing, is there a way to change that to take me to the search results?

2. In IE if you type the name of a favorite in the address bar, it will auto-complete it. Is this possible with FF?

3. I like the tabbed windows and all, but is there a way to duplicate a tab to a new one? (much like opening a new window in IE, copying the current window's history and all)


Thanks for your help guys.

Or click the link with your middle mouse.

Right got that, what i meant was opening a new window or tab that is the same as the current one. Like, i open a new tab now and its blank, not the same page as the tab i was just on.

(Modified original question above so it is more clear)

Or click the link with your middle mouse.
I've got my middle button mapped to the Enter key currently, so i'll have to disable that to test it. Update: Yeah that does the same thing that im not looking for.
