Turn off new Ctrl+Tab behaviour in Firefox 3.1
November 19th, 2008
I’m sure some of you may be frustrated by Firefox 3.1’s new tab behaviour when pressing Ctrl + Tab. No longer does it just browse through the tabs, but instead it switches to the most recently viewed tab (much like Windows Alt + Tab.
Thankfully, you can turn the new Ctrl + Tab behaviour off, and return it old skool. Simply follow the steps below:
- Go to about:config in the URL bar
- Set browser.ctrlTab.mostRecentlyUsed to false
- Set browser.ctrlTab.recentlyUsedLimit to 0
- Restart Firefox
All done! Enjoy the old Ctrl + Tab behaviour.
