The best new tip I've heard in a long time is a Firefox web browser trick. If you are in the address bar, typing in a URL, you DON'T need to type in the whole thing. For instance, type help2go in the address bar, and then hit Ctrl-Enter. The http://www. and the .com at the end are automatically added! For a .net site, hit Shift-Enter instead. For .org, hit Shift-Ctrl-Enter. What does Alt-Enter do? It adds http://www. and .com, AND it opens up in a new tab. Enjoy!
