The 'Back' Button the Most Clicked Firefox Icon

darthcamaro writes "How many times did you click the 'Back' button in your browser last week? According to a new study from Mozilla, it's likely that you clicked 'Back' a whole lot. 'Across Windows, Mac and Linux 93.1 percent of users clicked the button at least once over the course of a five-day period. In total the study reported that users clicked on the back button 66 times over the course of five days. The next most used button is the 'Reload' button with 73.2 percent usage and 22 clicks on average per user over five days. Other areas of the main window that were heavily used include the Search Bar where users input search queries. The study found that 67.9 percent of users used the Search Bar for an average of nearly 16 clicks per user over the course of five days.'"

Re:IE

Uh, you know that triggers the OS to possibly bring up either task manager, a login window, an overscreen menu or anything else a network admin wants to set it to?

Alt + f4 is the best tool for IE

If you just wanted the task manager without a chance of other crud, try Ctrl + Shift + Esc

For Internet Explorer, Ctrl+Alt+Delete is tops

For all the young people who only started using Windows as recently as 10 years ago, he's referring to the pre-2000 versions of Windows that crashed all the time. Back then, Alt+Ctrl+Delete rebooted the machine instead of bringing up Task Manager. If you go back even further, to around 1995, IE was known for being unstable.

Sorry to ruin the fun, this joke's so old I figured it required a little explanation for those 25 and younger. :)
