Not sure you're aware of this one too... But, you might like the "Ctrl+Tab" shortcut as well. With it you can alternate between the last few active tabs, with thumbnails. Really handy.
- chrismorgan 7y agoI don’t think I’ve come across a single Firefox user that ever uses keyboard shortcuts that has left it that way—all have found the “Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order” preference and turned it off, so that it goes through tabs in order, like literally every other program I’ve ever encountered does with tabs. (Yes, Alt+Tab does MRU window switching, but that has never been the convention for Ctrl+Tab tab switching.) Mind you, MRU switching is still useful behaviour; Vim has Ctrl+^ to switch to the alternate file which is much the same concept, and Vimperator et al. used to do the same (on platforms where Alt+number switched to the numbered tab, rather than Windows’ Ctrl+number), no idea whether equivalent extensions can do that any more. I have a Tree Style Tab extension that makes Shift+F2 do that, and it suits me.

- ihuman 7y agoIf you keep Control+Tab set to cycle through tabs in recently used order, you can use Command-Shift-Left/Right or Control-PageUp/PageDown to cycle through tabs in tab-bar order instead. Additionally, you don't need an extension to jump to a tab anymore. Command-[1-8] goes to that number tab in the current window, where 1 is the leftmost tab. Command-9 goes to the rightmost tab.
