In FireFox 4 CTRL-E does not position to the Google field as it did in FF3. How do I do it now? I have macros that need the capability.

Do you mean the search box in the navigation bar? You can use CTRL-K to jump to the search box instead.

I do not have FF4 here at school. CTRL-k works in FF3. I will try it tonight at home.

Do you know a comprehensive list of keyboard shortcuts for FF?

Thanks,

Jeff Cleveland

Currently Ctrl+E does nothing in Firefox 4. Ctrl+E had been used a short while to open Tab Groups (Panorama), but that shortcut has been changed to Shift + Ctrl + E to prevent opening Panorama by accident. The Ctrl+E was not restored after that last change. You can use Ctrl+K instead to open the search bar.

You can use this extension to restore the Ctrl+E shortcut.
