Here’s what happens in Firefox when you use that keyboard short cut:

Answer any requests like are you sure? etc and that account will be history.

You’ll need to repeat this for each gmail account you want to delete.
Bob,
Your little tip at the top did make a difference in Chrome speed.
I might prefer Firefox but I still use Chrome. Both are excellent browsers.
Same here. I actually use FF, Chrome and IE on occasion.
Bob, in your opinion the fastest browser is ? Thinking of trying FF. Was reading something today that indicated FF was, of course it depends who is saying this. Did a quick test with IE and Chrome opening various webpages. On some IE was quicker, on some about the same, in no instances was Chrome quicker. Very unscientific and crude testing though. Probably for 2/10 of a second though it doesn’t really matter.
Speed also depends on how much overhead all those extension use. Sometimes a little extra time is OK if it’s associated with extra safety.
I use mainly Chrome but lately have also used FF a lot so it depends on what I need to do that determines which browser I use.
Time isn’t everything and the older you get, the more you tend to realize that little fact.
IE is pretty fast but, on my system, there are very few addons. Chrome has the most addons so it tends to be just a bit slower than FF.
To be fair, Chrome also has the most capabilities due to all those addons.

4. Shortcut Keys (Commands)
Space bar: pause/start
Side arrows: fast-forward and rewind
Number keys: Will send you to different parts of the video. 1 = 10 percent through the video; 2 = 20 percent; etc.
Zero key: Sends you back to the beginning.
Tab key: toggle through various vid commands; the Enter key and up/down arrows will let you control the commands.
Home / End keys: sends you directly to end / beginning.
Once you learn them, they are easier to use than the mouse.

Checking your Hard Drive Status via Command Prompt
Open a Command Prompt
Use the Windows Key and the R (Run) key - You’ll see this:
http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1442411949204-47217.png
Next type cmd into the box - It should look like this:
http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1442412151926-15830.png
Select OK
You’ll now see this:
http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1442412227040-37194.png
Now type the following at the blinking cursor: wmic and hit enter. You’ll see this:
http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1442412384919-88628.png
Finally, type this at the blinking cursor: diskdrive get status and hit enter.
(There is a space after diskdrive and after get) You should now see this:
http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1442412610092-93113.png
If it doesn’t say OK, find out what to do about the problems it reports.
If it finds serious errors, I’d also get busy and back up my data.
Since this is fairly simple, do this once a week to stay ahead of a Disk Drive Disaster.
The power of the Alt
http://www.davescomputertips.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/alt-key-150x97.jpg
key.
The letters we type depend on the keyboard language assigned.
Sometime you need a letter that’s not part of your language.
My title on this forum is “Überevangelist” but, my keyboard doesn’t have an “Ü”.
Somhow using the accepted substitution of “ue” just doesn’t do it justice.
The fix is to hold down the ALT key while typing 0220 on the keyboards Number keypad. (Ü)
Utilizing that little trick makes typing Über Evangelist very easy.
Here is a chart of Alt-Codes that may come in handy:
