when viewing a webpage you can just start typing in a link you want to go to, for example go to yahoo.com

start typing "NEWS" and the first news link will be highlighted, then you can just press enter. mouse free web browsing at it's best!

It gets even better:

I you want to make it so that it finds regular text, go to about:config and change accessibility.typeaheadfind.linksonly to "false". This allows you to search regular text just by typing, which can be very useful.

Also, type a ' before your string to search only links, and type / before your string to search all text if you want to just search one.

Hitting ctrl+g calls the "find again" function, and searches for another instance of the word found.

Here's some more stuff:

Main page.

about:config customizations.

Have fun! :D
