I didn't understand what doesn't work in Firefox in your example. I use keyboard shortcuts while entering URLs and Firefox has the widest support to fill domain suffixes. Cmd/Ctrl+L takes you to the address bar. Type "domain" and then Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to visit www.domain.com, Shift+Enter to visit www.domain.net, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Enter to visit www.domain.org. AFAIK, the original Ctrl+Enter for www.domain.com was from IE, but I haven't seen IE or Chrome support these additional combinations out of the box.
- mhartl 11y agoIn Chrome or Safari, typing the URL and hitting Cmd-Enter opens the site in a new tab in the background, allowing you to keep reading the tab you're in. This is why _jomo mentioned "then switch back to the old site to keep on reading," which you don't have to do if you use the Cmd-Enter trick. But that trick doesn't work in Firefox.
- newscracker 11y agoAs I mentioned, the Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to go to a ".com" domain has been in Firefox (since the beginning of the browser) and comes from Internet Explorer. That's not going to go away. To me, the behavior of Chrome and Safari are quite annoying since I'm so used to getting to a ".com", ".net" or ".org" domain with the keyboard shortcuts in Firefox. :)
