I have been using mozilla firefox on linux ubuntu 20.04 LTS version. The shortcut key for switching between tabs is ctrl(contol key) + the tab number. Eg: ctrl+3 switches to 3rd tab. This shortcut is not working in ubuntu but works well in windows. Is there any settings in firefox browser to rectify this problem

It should be Alt + {1-8} for Linux.
