Use the Scroll Wheel to Zip Through Your Browser History

Lifehacker:

“Firefox: Keyboard shortcuts are handy time savers, and when it comes to web browsers, a keyboard/mouse shortcut is even handier. Zip through your history on a web page with this simple shortcut.

Lifehacker reader Raghav, a Firefox completist who previously brought us a middle-click reminder, writes in with a great trick for zooming through your browser history:

It’s common knowledge that control-scrolling increases/decreases font size and that alt-scrolling slows down scrolling in firefox, but did you know that shift-scrolling shuffles through your history for that page? Shift + Scroll Up shuffles forward, and Shift + Scroll Down shuffles backwards.

Since you likely already have your hand on the mouse, this shortcut is quite the speedy one. If you have a favorite Firefox shortcut, obvious or otherwise, let’s hear about it in the comments below.”
