Firefox Tab Gmail Open

If you use Firefox you are probably familiar with the tab feature. Tabs allow you to organize open windows in a tabbed based environment from within Firefox. There is a hidden shortcut not known by most users using the scrollable wheel of the mouse and the SHIFT key. If you hold down SHIFT and Scroll your mouse wheel up or down you will navigate back and forth through the history of the current active browser tab. For example if you want to quickly go back a page or two simply press and hold the SHIFT key and scroll your mouse wheel down. This method of navigation also works in Internet Explorer. The shortcut is the same and I tested it in IE6 and IE7
