Some quick Firefox tab shortcuts

Some of these I have read about, others I have found by accident. Some are more helpful then others. These all work for me in Firefox 1.5.0.9.

Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab or Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn: cycle through tabs.
Middle click link or Ctrl + Click link: opens the link in a new tab.
Ctrl + W: closes the current tab or window.
Middle click a tab: closes the tab
Ctrl + T or double click on an open spot in the tabbar: opens a new tab
Ctrl + 1 through Ctrl + 9: goes to the tab number

Middle clicking a link is my favorite, but it just so happens that my touchpad supports middle-clicking.

    Collin - THANKS for sharing!
    I love learning new keyboard shortcuts. I knew a few of those, but I’m excited to use the others :)
