According to http://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/keyboard+shortcuts, "Ctrl+End" should move the current tab to the end of the list of tabs.

But the shortcut does not work. It only scrolls to the end of the current page as if only "End" is pressed.

I have tried safemode of firefox, and closed every other opened program.

What else should I do to debug this problem? or may it's a bug in firefox somehow?

Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration#How_to_edit_configuration_files 

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] {-moz-user-focus: normal !important;}

Move Tab to End
(when tab is focused)

When a Tab has focus it will have a "dotted box" around the page name that appears in the Tab. A change was made in Firefox 3.5 that made keyboard navigation of Tabs more difficult (and virtually useless IMO). Use {Ctrl + L} to place focus in the Location bar, than hit the TAB key twice to shift focus to the Tab you are viewing; then {Ctrl + End} will move that Tab to the last Tab position.

Thank you for your reply.

I have to say that shortcut is completely useless as it is designed.

Is it possible to put focus on a tab by double clicking it?

Or could someone please let me know the command to this "Move current tab to end of list" action, so keyconfig may be able to map the command?

Thanks.

The modification to userchrome.css works well.
