You can click and drag a tab to move it to another spot among your row open tabs in the current window.
Drag tabsįirefox is quite flexible when it comes to moving your tabs around. Firefox remembers the last 10 you closed. You probably use Command-T to open new tabs, but did you know that Command-Shift-T opens previously closed tabs. Command-9 jumps you to the right-most tab, so this keyboard shortcut is really only useful if your open tabs number in the single digits. Command-5, for example, jumps you to the fifth tab from the left. Command-1 jumps you to your first (left-most) tab. To jump to a specific tab of the many you have open, press Command and any number key between 1 and 9. On Windows, use Ctrl-Tab to move to the right and Ctrl-Shift-Tab to move to the left.
Use Command-Option-right arrow to jump one tab to the right, and use Command-Option-left arrow to jump one tab to the left. Also, Shift-click to open a link in a new window. Likewise, use Command-Shift-click to open link in new tab and switch to it. To take control of this behavior, press Command when you click a link to stay on your current page while opening the link in a new tab in the background. Some links are coded to open in the current tab while others open in a new tab.
