Firefox trick

gaming_guy

i just noticed that if you have like 3 tabs open in 1 window and want to switch tabs you just hold down ctrl and press the number of the tab( if you have 3 tabs open and you want to get to tab 1 from the 3rd tab just hold down ctrl and press 3 and tab 3 should open)

sorry if this is well known!

No matter. Reminders like this are often useful.

Another thing you can do -
Click on the page name written on the tab.The title will be surrounded by a dotted box. (Might have to click it twice)

Now you can use your arrow keys to cycle backwards and forwards through the tabs

Have I missed something or has the old click of the mouse been ignored here?

Suppose it depends how you surf - I mainly stick to the mouse as I normally use a laptop on the coffee table (have to lean forward to type!!). Now if you could shout TAB 3... Do use the ctrl/number when I'm in a health and safety approved position - would imagine it'd be difficult if you were a left-handed mouser though.
