Firefox tips
On Windows, pressing Alt+Tab will bring up a preview of all of your open windows, and pressing Tab while holding in Alt will cycle through them. I'm sure most of you already know this, but did you know you can have the same effect in Firefox?
- Open a new tab and go to about:config
- Click the "I'll be careful, I promise" button
- Seach for browser.ctrlTab.previews and double click it to change its value to True
- Now press Ctrl+Tab to cycle through your open Firefox tabs.
This only works up to 6 tabs. Anything more than that and it'll only show the last 6.
Here are a few more keyboard shortcuts for tabs (they also work in Chrome).
