Selecting a Specific Tab with Keyboard Hotkey on Firefox

Firefox quick change tab function/Working with the Tabs on Firefox.

Have you opened a bunch of tabs on Firefox and having trouble navigating from one tab to another?  This article is for you!

Firefox has built-in shortcuts to navigate from one tab to another. This makes your life easier. You don't have to use the mouse to move from one tab to another.

The following are the Keyboard Hotkeys:

  • Press Ctrl key + 1.  This will open the leftmost tab.
  • Press Ctrl key + numbers 2 to 8 will show tabs in order from left to right.
  • Press Ctrl key + 9 will show you the rightmost tab.




Also, if you hold down the Alt key (say, with your left thumb) and tap the Tab key (with, like your index finger), you can toggle through the tabs.
