If you use are a Firefox fan and you have a scroll wheel mouse (Microsoft and Logitech ones are the best), you can do some pretty neat things in your Web browser. If you have used Firefox for awhile, you probably know that you can use tabbed browsing, which means you can create a new tab and then have several Web sites open and ready to view without having so many open links filling up the bottom of your desktop area.
Well, you can use your mouse wheel to close out some of those tabs when you're done browsing in a certain one. Go ahead and click on "Open a new tab" icon and go to whichever Web site you would like to visit. Once you're done looking around, just make sure the tab you want to close is selected and just click your mouse wheel. That tab will automatically close and you can go to another site or whatever you'd like to do.
You can also use your mouse wheel with the Back and Forward buttons. Just click the middle mouse button (the wheel) and away you go.
