This will be interpreted as different commands by the browser, like open new tab, close tab, open in background etc. Incredible effective way to give commands to the browser once you've learned the small gestures.
Not using a mouse most of the time I cannot use them anymore. But there remains one very important semi-gesture which is worth it alone. Holding down the right button and shortly pressing the left button is "move back to last page". Accordingly holding the left and pressing the right is "move to next page". I probably use that hundreds of times every day. No need to navigate to the "back" toolbar button or change to the keyboard, just do it wherever you are. > Firefox has a host of essential user written extensions. Yes, Firefox can do most things Opera can (= has copied features Opera pioneered pretty well ;) using different extension, but Opera is the better overall package as it does everything right out of the box. Still Firefox is an okay browser, no question. What's cool about Opera are the little details. E.g. everybody probably knows the little search fields to quickly search something on Google and a few other engines. But suppose you want to quickly access the Wikipedia search as well. In that case you just open up the page, right click on Wikipedia's search text field and select "Create search...". And voila, you got a new search engine to chose from. Simple and elegant.
