How to focus the tab in Firefox 3.6 (to move to beginning/end)
I believe in previous versions of Firefox, when the tab was focused, you could use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl+end or ctrl+home to move the focused tab to either the end or beginning of your tabs. This functionality no longer seems to work, I believe because I can no longer actually focus a tab. Previously, but selecting the tab, I'd see a little box highlighting the text inside of the tab. I can still drag tabs to different locations, but being able to move them all the way to the beginning or end with a keyboard shortcut is a lot faster.

In Firefox 3.5 and above you can no longer click the Tab bar to set focus to it.
You can press Ctrl+K (Mac: Cmd+K) to set focus to the search bar and press the Tab key until the tab bar gets focus.
You can still use the cursor Left and Right keys to go to the next or previous tab or use Ctrl or Cmd and cursor key to move tabs if the tab bar has focus.
.....
You can use "Ctrl+Page Up" and "Ctrl+Page Down" or (Shift+)Ctrl+Tab to go to the Previous or Next tab.

Hello,
I had this problem too. It seems to be a request since Firefox 3.5. You must have focus on tabs bar in order the shortcuts [Ctrl][Left] and [Ctrl][Right] work. You can read information about that here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462289
I made a small plugin to provide new shortcuts to move tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220875/
