Firefox: Forgotten Feature

Technically, I knew about this. But I forgot it, and just rediscovered it again, by accident. You can switch from one tab to any other, directly, with the keyboard. If you have four tabs open, pressing CTRL-1 switches to the first (leftmost) tabl. Similarly CTRL-2 opens the second, and so forth. Don't forget it kids!

One of the advantages here is quick switching. You can hold down CTRL, then just tap two numbers, to switch back and forth rapidly. Great for comparing two pages or any kind of cross referencing that involves switching there and back again.

Neat trick! Usually I just go thru the whole list with ctrl+tab.
