Creating a new Google Doc is something I do almost a dozen times per day. The standard approach to creating a new doc goes like this:

1. Open docs.google.com
2. Click New, Document

It gets a little tedious having to do this each time.

We can eliminate these two steps by creating a "New Google Doc" bookmark, using this URL:

https://docs.google.com/MiscCommands?command=newdoc&redirectToDocument=true&hl=en_GB

(Note: This only seems to work for standard Google Docs, not Google Apps for your Domain.)

In Firefox, go to Bookmarks, Organize Bookmarks:

In the left pane, right-click Bookmarks Toolbar or Bookmarks Menu, then choose ** New Bookmark**:

Name it whatever you'd like, and include the full URL as the Location:

https://docs.google.com/MiscCommands?command=newdoc&redirectToDocument=true&hl=en_GB

Now you just need to click the bookmark once, and a new doc will open up for you!
