The Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn works for me in Linux to switch between tabs. Ctrl + tab switches between desktops for me.

I’m surprised no-one has brought up —in my opinion— on of the best features of firefox.

Press “/” to bring up a temporary in-page search: That goes away after you use it. Pressing Cmd+F and having to take your hands from the board to close it again is just terrible.

Fn+F6 also goes directly to address bar.

Plus to change between spaces quickly you can use CTRL+page up or page down. If you use spaces this is essential.

In firefox you can use “Command + L” to access address-bar..
(Haven’t figured out similar to “Alt+D” directly in OS X )

Control-tab does not switch between tabs in Firefox 1.5.0.1 for OS-X. Instead it switches between the browser window & address bar.

Control-pagedown & control-pageup are fairly useless, since you can’t do them left-handed; which, overall, makes tabs themselves fairly useless, since you can’t switch between them in any kind of efficient manner (whereas you *can* do so for separate browser windows).

My favorite Firefox shortcut is the delete key to go back a page. It’s much quicker than any other method I’ve tried so far.

Firefox Keyboard Shortcut To Retrieve Closed Tabs

We’ve all done it. Accidentally closed a Firefox tab that we were still using. I know now that you can right click another tab and choose Undo Close Tab to bring it back. But another great way to do the same thing is to use Command-Shift-T (M…

“# Control + Tab (navigate forward through browser tabs)
# Control + Shift + Tab (navigate backward through browser tabs)”

You can also use Ctrl + Page Down/Page up (Command for Mac OS X then I guess), to switch forward and back between tabs.

Also to go to the Addressbar you can also use F6 (and with another F-Key you can access the Searchbar as far as I remember).

And another good one is with Ctrl + 0 (Command + 0 then on Mac OS X) you can set the screen text size back to default.
