Quickly Switch Tabs in Firefox

Firefox LogoSometimes I have lots of tabs open all in the same Firefox window. Clicking on each one to find the right tab can take up a lot of time or be irritating if there are more tabs than there is room for on the screen.

You can navigate around Firefox tabs with the below keyboard shorcuts:

  • Press Ctrl+Tab to go to the next tab (or rotate forward).
  • Press Ctrl+Shift+Tab to go to the previous tab (or rotate backwards).
  • Go to a specific tab by pressing Ctrl+the tab number. e.g. Ctrl+7 to go to the seventh tab.
  • Press Ctrl+T to open a new tab.
  • Press Ctrl+W to close the tab.
  • Restore Previously Closed tab by Ctrl+Shift+T.
