Firefox SwiftTabs

Hobbit is concerned that readers might miss his comment alerting us to "an incredibly useful Firefox extension", SOoo ...

Chances are no one will read this, but there is an incredibly useful extension called SwiftTabs, that lets you "Move to the next/previous tab" with two buttons (mine are f3 and f2 respectively). It is a chip off the Opera block, which uses the 1 and 2 buttons to achieve the same thing. It's an absolute must if you are a 'tab whore' like me. Makes tab navigation a dream.

Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab also do the same thing without any extension required (though admittedly they're more clumsy than using Your Preferred Keys).

Ctrl-pageUp and Ctrl-PageDown also work.

One nuisance with Firefox is that when a pdf is open Ctrl-T does not open a new tab since this operates an Acrobat menu. Anyone know of an extension to get around this?
