In older Firefox versions, I could toggle between the current tab and previous (not next) tab with Ctrl-Tab shortcut. I can't find a shortcut for that in Version 34. Tab Utilities addon is no help, either, when enabled.

With Firefox you can only cycle though the tabs on the Tab bar.

Maybe it helps if you toggle the browser.ctrlTab.previews prefs to true on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Hello DWFrank, it is the same in 34, Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl + Page Down (in win), check it in firefox safe mode.

EDIT : sorry my mistake, Ctrl + Shift + Tab or Ctrl + Page Up is the correct.

thank you

Thanks, but : safe mode or not, none of the above shortcuts toggle between tabs. They either shift to the next tab left, or the next tab right. My OS is the same: XP Pro Sp2.
