How to change FireFox switch tab shortcut on OS X?
updated for macOS and current Firefox.
- default shortcut:
Command
+Option
+⭠
andCommand
+Option
+⭢
- alternative shortcut:
Ctrl
+Tab
andCtrl
+Shift
+Tab
this shows firefox tab switcher in current version - alternative shortcut:
Command
+{
andCommand
+}
this actually requires 3 keys to be pressed on US keyboardCommand
+Shift
+{
andCommand
+Shift
+}
and may not work with other keyboard languages - alternative shortcut:
Ctrl
+Page Up
andCtrl
+Page Down
- you can also jump to tabs directly with
Cmd
+1
,Cmd
+2
,Cmd
+3
,Cmd
+4
etc. - you can try a Firefox add-on focused on switching tabs which suits your needs: Add-ons browser
- just use a BetterTouchTool to remap any keystroke or mouse/trackpad gesture you want to already existing
Command
+Option
+⭠
andCommand
+Option
+⭢
keystrokes.
I personally prefer #7: Command
+Option
+⭠
and Command
+Option
+⭢
for switching tabs. I haven't modified Firefox at all and I used BetterTouchTool to remap keystrokes in every other app which uses other commands that these two. Now I can use Cmd
+Option
+⭠
and Command
+Option
+⭢
to switch tabs across all apps I use on Mac and it works great.
