Alt+Home key?

On the MacBook keyboard, what would equal the Alt+Home key?

In FireFox, I'd like a quick way to get to my Home Page without using the mouse.

Thanks

The keyboard shortcuts in help say that it is

Option+Home,

however i think this is complicated on the macbook by the fact that the home key is on the left arrow key...

You have to press the keys option, fn+left arrow,

so alt, then press Fn, then press home...

It took me a while to realse you cant just hammer Fn and Home at once you actually have to press them in that order.

Hi there,

It's very simple-- press command (Apple key)+ Shift + H.

Goodluck!

That actually brings up the history in FireFox. But thanks for the effort. It probably works elsewhere and is good to know.

It works with Safari and I just assumed that you are using the same browser. Well it's good to know that this keyboard shortcut doesn't work with Firefox.

Glad you figured it out!
