    TIL the power of the scroll wheel in Firefox
    editorial posted by braincrave in braincraverelationships/dating/braincrave

    Today I learned the power of the scroll wheel in Firefox. You can use it to close tabs (click the scroll wheel on a tab), open hyperlinks in new pages (click the scroll wheel on a link), scroll through tabs (scroll over tabs), zoom a page (press Ctrl and scroll), and open a group of bookmarks (click the scroll wheel over the group).

    To close a tab: Position your mouse cursor over the tab in Firefox and click the scroll wheel. (Much quicker than clicking the x.)

    real mouse as computer mouseTo open hyperlinks in a new tab: Position your mouse cursor over the hyperlink in Firefox and click the scroll wheel. (Much quicker than right-clicking on the link and choosing Open Link in New Tab.)

    To scroll through tabs: When you have too many tabs in Firefox for the width of the page, you can scroll through them by positioning your mouse cursor over the tabs and using the scroll bar. (Much quicker than using the arrows.)

    To zoom a page: To increase the size/zoom level of a page in Firefox, hold the Ctrl key down and use the scroll bar. (Much quicker than View - Zoom.)

    To open a group of bookmarks: If you have a group of bookmars (and if you don't, you should - e.g., your "morning bookmarks" that include all of the sites that you read each day or always keep on your browser), position your mouse cursor in Firefox over the bookmark group and click the scroll wheel. (Much quicker than right-clicking Open All in Tabs.)

    To move up and down: Click the scroll wheel on a page and then move your mouse up or down to quickly scroll through it. (Much less effort than scrolling by turning the scroll wheel or moving the scroll bar on large pages.)

    What did you learn recently?

    About braincrave

    braincraverelationships/dating/braincravehttps://braincrave.com/c/relationships/dating/braincravebraincrave

    We all admire beauty, but the mind ultimately must be stimulated for maximum arousal. Longevity in relationships cannot occur without a meeting of the minds. And that is what Braincrave is: a dating venue where minds meet. Learn about the thoughts of your potential match on deeper topics... topics that spawn your own insights around what you think, the choices you make, and the actions you take.

    We are a community of men and women who seek beauty and stimulation through our minds. We find ideas, education, and self-improvement sexy. We think intelligence is hot. But Braincrave is more than brains and I.Q. alone. We are curious. We have common sense. We value and offer wisdom. We experiment. We have great imaginations. We devour literacy. We are intellectually honest. We support and encourage each other to be better.

    You might be lonely but you aren't alone.

    Sep, 2017 update: Although Braincrave resulted in two confirmed marriages, the venture didn't meet financial targets. Rather than updating our outdated code base, we've removed all previous dating profiles and retained the articles that continue to generate interest. Moving to valME.io's platform supports dating profiles (which you are welcome to post) but won't allow typical date-matching functionality (e.g., location proximity, attribute similarity).

    The Braincrave.com discussion group on Second Life was a twice-daily intellectual group discussions typically held at 12:00 PM SLT (PST) and 7:00 PM SLT. The discussions took place in Second Life group chat but are no longer formally scheduled or managed. The daily articles were used to encourage the discussions.
