Navigation from the toolbar
The address bar shortcut should be as instinctual as breathing by now, but there's a few more shortcuts to that top bar that you should keep in mind.
The preceding shortcuts are of mostly obvious usefulness. Switching tabs and reloading pages are must-have shortcuts for any mouse-eschewing Firefox-er. A less-known feature, Caret browsing, inserts a cursor into the text of the page and is very useful for highlighting and copying text.

Wesley Fryerkeyboard shortcuts for working with Firefox. The killer tip for me: Command-number for the tab you want to switch to. Excellent!

I think there are two major shortcuts you forgot:
- Ctrl/Option+G is the find next (equivalent to F3
- Ctlr+W closes a tab (no need for an extension to get that)
http://surfkeys.mozdev.org/ from the author of Hit-a-Hint is nice too, it provides keys for smooth scrolling in a page without the mouse. -
Another essential for mouseless browsing in Firefox is the Hit-a-Hint extension. It allows you to "click" links via the keyboard; you just hit a customizable key that applies number labels to all of the links on the screen, and typing one of these numbers selects the link.
