In our earlier articles, we have explained the shortcut command URLs for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. These URLs will help you to access the browser’s settings page to view or change your options. In addition, you can get details like crash reports, downloads, history, etc. Similar to Chrome and Edge, Mozilla Firefox also has shortcut command URLs. You can use these URLs in the address bar to get things done quickly.
