Working Efficiently: Using the Keyboard to Switch Between Tabs in Firefox

April 23rd, 2009

As many of you know who have used my software products, I am always looking to work quicker and more efficiently. Here is a small, but incredibly useful tip if you are working in Firefox and need to be constantly switching between tabs in Firefox. I am going to show you how you can use your keyboard, rather than your mouse, to switch between tabs in Firefox.

Use Ctrl + Page Down to go to the next tab in Firefox. Use Ctrl + Page Up to go to the previous tab in Firefox.

Also, another neat trick is that if you know the position of the tab in Firefox that you want to switch to you can use Ctrl + Tab Number. For example Ctrl + 3, which will bring you to the third tab in your Firefox window.

Yes, it is that easy and hopefully this tip will allow you to work a little faster and more efficiently. After all, ever second you save when you are working can be used to relax.
