As it is not new for everyone about my new accidental discovery of a firefox browser’s “super shortcut”. Sometime last week when I was chatting with my co-worker and he message me of a certain unknown website(which is not in the url form) and for my laziness I don’t want to search this in Google if it does exist I experimentally highlight the text and slowly dropped in the tab bar of Firefox I was amazed it automatically goes to the site (yup I was shocked then!).So I played it with different scenario including a non-linkable text and etc. Here’s the screen shots:

firefox shortcut step 1

Highlight the text you want to drag from any source even it does not changed the mouse cursor when you starting to drag it.

firefox shortcut step 2

Slowly drag the selected text to the tab bar of the browser (next to the last tab).

firefox shortcut step 3

If a small blue arrow appears on the top of the tab bar you may drop it now.

firefox shortcut step 4

Firefox will search and process the text you dropped.

firefox shortcut step 5

If the result was success it will open a tab and load the site but if there is no matching result it will never open a new tab at all. (not shown here in the post)
