- tehhowch, on 07/17/2008, -3/+467I hope I'm not the only one who furiously checked Ctrl+Tab after seeing this following the security update today. Silly me, we're on 3.0.1, not 3.1...
- spin164, on 07/17/2008, -17/+277Nice but not necessary.
- silver26, on 07/17/2008, -19/+164*cringes at the pretentious comments people make on digg*
- netneutrality, on 07/17/2008, -89/+224*cringes at the thought of people who'll think Ctrl+Tab is a whole new key combination, instead of something that's been in every tabbed dialog box for years and years and years*
- DaviDTC, on 07/17/2008, -8/+110So multiple pages of porn on one page.
- phunlee, on 07/17/2008, -8/+69I can't tell if you're joking. When I use the computer I want to use the mouse as little as possible. It wastes (what feels like) soooo much time. Any keyboard shortcut is an improvement unless it takes two hands to operate.

OK: Firstly it's not a MAC it's a Mac, MAC is a networking term.
I don't really see how 'MACs mouse support sucks beyond belief?' you can use any USB mouse with a Mac.
Just because it doesn't come with some SUPER TURBO MEGA 12 BUTTON MOUSE ZX 2000 doesn't mean it's *****. Most real people need 2 buttons and a scrollwheel. In fact most of the people that use mice with loads of buttons with stupid glowing ***** and glitter all over them are generally wannabe nerds. Not real nerds: software developers, sysadmins etc. They love their basic *****. No ***** NEON computer case with a million fairly lights that looks like something out of a ***** 1990s SciFi film. GIVE ME BEIGE.
***** it, I try to use my mouse as little as possible; research has shown keyboard shortcuts are far more productive than the mouse ever can be.
Alt+delete is way quicker than selecting a piece of text and hitting delete.
Put it this way, would your computer be more productive with just a mouse..or just a keyboard?
Keyboard > Mouse. - efitz11, on 07/17/2008, -3/+49ctrl + tab is two buttons, and was a tab switching shortcut for as long as i can remember, so many people are already used to this
- DaemonNivas, on 07/17/2008, -8/+51Where do I turn it off?
- sm4k, on 07/17/2008, -2/+41Heh, you're not.
- chaos7, on 07/17/2008, -25/+60i'm fine with just using the list menu at the far right of the tab bar
- Vinvin, on 07/17/2008, -7/+41Nice is good enough for me :)
- zaldoe, on 07/17/2008, -0/+34Just in case the site is shady:
As announced before, tab switching is getting a dramatic update for Firefox 3.1 in both visual and behavior.
Press Ctrl + Tab (or Shift + Ctrl + Tab) and you are presented with tab thumbnails and titles with the most recently visited ones first so you can more easily determine which tab you want to go, have the one you most probably want to go closer, and as a result get to it faster. Hold Ctrl pressed and keep pressing Tab to see the thumbnails smoothly scroll to the left while the status bar displays the tab web address.
If you need or just prefer the old behavior, pressing Ctrl + Page Up and Ctrl + Page Down will fit the bill.
While eye candy doesn’t hurt, I am not sure black is the right background color for all platforms. More tab thumbnails may also help find the one I’m looking for faster, as in earlier prototypes.
As said, there’s also a new behavior for Ctrl + Tab. Instead of just moving left to the next opened tab, now it switches between the current and the last viewed tab and I have to say I’m already loving it. I usually have to check several other pages while posting and to ease the tab switching I moved the reference tab next to the post edit tab to have it a couple of keystrokes away. There’s no need now: I just took the long way to the reference tab once and then it’s already at reach.
The new Ctrl + Tab behavior and look was originally planned for Firefox 3 but was put on hold due to time constraints.
Ctrl-Tab, a Firefox extension developed by Dão Gotwald, that has served as a prototype for this change is available from Mozilla Add-ons. The extension provides even more features including an all tabs preview with search tabs capabilities that replaces the tab list menus when pressing the List all tabs button in the tab bar edge, and an option to switch between tabs in all windows. At least the all tabs preview option is also being considered for inclusion in Firefox 3.1. - phenom2k7, on 07/17/2008, -6/+40you must be a l337 h4x0r.
- doskir, on 07/17/2008, -0/+33they are talking about 3.1 not 3.0.1 BIG difference
- cesclaveria, on 07/17/2008, -0/+32you can see the advances on technology.
- ekesqueaky, on 07/17/2008, -9/+41It'll be nice not to have to use an extension for this anymore.
- MrJagil, on 07/17/2008, -0/+31So that's why it isn't working -.-
- Zedix79, on 07/17/2008, -0/+30Argh, just did the same !
- celkin, on 07/17/2008, -5/+33*cringes because everyone else is cringing*
- kevdude421, on 07/17/2008, -1/+29I'm thinking about:config
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -14/+41who gives a *****?
- bizchris, on 07/17/2008, -2/+28Omfg. I don't care if this shows my n00bness or ignorance, I never noticed that dropdown. While I agree with phunlee that keyboard shortcuts are good, I still love you.
- bjornski, on 07/17/2008, -3/+29Probably in 'about:config'
- typographics, on 07/17/2008, -1/+27Rumor is about:config
- randylm, on 07/17/2008, -2/+26wow, that makes you cringe...
- lobasuu, on 07/17/2008, -11/+35Let me guess, you are a mac-user?
- bstock, on 07/17/2008, -3/+26Hopefully in about:config
- Erroneus, on 07/17/2008, -2/+25Which is another feature from an extension, who cares! Both Opera and Firefox are great browsers, use the one who suits you best.
- xkorbin, on 07/17/2008, -0/+23The stars read: "about:config"
- Sabretou, on 07/17/2008, -1/+23Definitely in about:config
- celkin, on 07/17/2008, -2/+23Obviously in 'about:config'
- tehhowch, on 07/17/2008, -0/+21We aren't on 3.1 yet. Only 3.0.1
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+19Bah, I was hoping I wasn't the only one. I feel slightly less stupid now.
- celkin, on 07/17/2008, -12/+31^^It's Mac, not MAC
- Rikkochet, on 07/17/2008, -2/+20'Just clicking' actually takes longer if your hand is already poised near the left of your keyboard and your mouse point is towards the bottom of the screen. That's my experience, anyways, with a 22" monitor and not a terribly sensitive mouse.
- TheKeithD, on 07/17/2008, -1/+19I thought the Firefox philosophy was that core web browsing functionality is within the main browser, while all extras (such as fancy tab effects and ad blocking) are extensions. This seems to be going against it a little bit.
...then again, one COULD argue that the Awesomebar is an extra worthy of merely extensionship, but to them I say nay! - flangepiece, on 07/17/2008, -0/+18There's something about:config
- ultrafez, on 07/17/2008, -1/+18Possibly in 'about:config'
- Linkin4, on 07/17/2008, -2/+19Who cares, what a ***** complainer.
- hagfish70, on 07/17/2008, -0/+17have any of you checked about:config?
- Retrokid, on 07/17/2008, -0/+17My guess would be about:config
- corkdorkdan, on 07/17/2008, -0/+17# of Diggs is not the only criteria to get to the front page. There is an algorithm. I could point you to stories that hit the front page with less than 50 diggs. It's not how many, it's the variety.
- ExRe, on 07/17/2008, -0/+15I won't be using it, but I HIGHLY doubt that it will add extra cpu usage if you do not use it.
- linkages, on 07/17/2008, -4/+19looks like we dugg it too hard already. 503 service temporarily unavailable
- br0ck, on 07/17/2008, -0/+15View, Zoom, Zoom Text Only (it's a checkbox and the setting is permanent)
- JacobParker, on 07/17/2008, -1/+15Well disable it when it comes out...
- ehayut, on 07/17/2008, -2/+16I don't have that problem on either of my 2 Vista machines...
- scottphphq, on 07/17/2008, -0/+14I've read it's in: about:config
