Nearly all of these also work for Firefox (and may also work for other tabbed browsers as well).

Here's some other useful shortcuts for IE7/Ffox:
Middle-click link: open in new tab
Middle-click tab: close tab

Plus, in IE7 (not Ffox):
Shift-middle-click link: open in new window

I'm glad they stayed with "industry standard" shortcuts instead of trying to re-invent the wheel.
