While it doesn't provide for network-wide shortcuts, Firefox (and IE as well) offers named bookmark shortcuts. - -Possibly I'm the only ignoramus unaware of this feature, but on the off chance I'm not, here's how it's done: open up the bookmark manager in Firefox, select a bookmark and either right click and select "properties" or click the properties in the toolbar. - -The third option down in the properties list lets you type in a keyword. Enter your keyword and then you'll be able to access that URL by typing the keyword in the URL bar. - -Handy, and, as the post Ron [originally directed me to says][1], often overlooked. - -On the downside the keyword shortcuts do not generally work for Javascript bookmarklets since typing in the URL bar overwrites the active address and most Javascript bookmarks often need that URL to function. - -If anyone knows of a way to create keyword or keyboard shortcuts for Firefox bookmarks, post it in the comments and I will offer copious thanks. - -[1]: http://www.xyzcomputing.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1002 "Firefox's Most Underutilized Feature" -[2]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/04/opendns_offers_.html "OpenDNS Offers Keyword Browsing Shortcuts"
