Alt+Left Arrow, Alt+Right Arrow: Forward and Back in Firefox and Internet Explorer

Posted in Internet Explorer, Firefox by estephen on March 28th, 2007

Stop what you’re doing and pull up your favorite browser. Read a couple of pages, follow a couple of links. Wait a second, what was on the previous page? Don’t bother hitting the Back button with your mouse –just press Alt+Left Arrow. Now, don’t hit the Forward button either — instead, try Alt+Right Arrow.

    First of all, thanks for your blog, I’m learning many useful tips.

    Another alternative for this shortcut is:
    backspace for back button
    shift+backspace for forward button

    This works also in Firefox and IE.
