Switching between Firefox windows on Mac M1 - keyboard doesn't have dedicated tilde button

more options

As the title says, I want to switch between opened firefox windows with keyboard(I can do the same using trackpad) on Mac M1. Unfortunately, my keyboard doesn't have dedicated tilde button so cmd + tilde doesn't work. Button to the left from number 1 is quotation mark key (“).

Do you have a backtick (`) on your keyboard ?

To switch between Firefox windows, use: (Shift) "Command + ~" (Tilde) or possibly backtick (`)

System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Keyboard & Text Input "Move focus to next window in application" should be checked.

I don't have backtick on my keyboard. I can access backtick with "option + <". "<" key is left to the Z key/right to the shift. In keyboard shortcuts "Move focus to next window in application" is checked and it is accesed with "cmd + `". Therefore, to change windows I need to press "cmd + option + <". Not easy, but it works. Thanks Image shows what can be accesed when option key is pressed.
