Hey!

Your question is very important because shortcuts with in the browser are very useful when sometimes input devices like mouse or etc. don't work.

Mozilla Firefox has many shortcuts but to switch between the tab ctrl+tab key is used. This key will also work on browsers like Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. You can also use following short cut keys to work on Mozilla

1) Alt + home =GOTO HOME PAGE

2) Alt + leftarrow =Back a page

3) Backspace =Back a page

4) Alt + rightarrow = Forward a page

5) F5 = Refresh a page.

6) F11 = For full screen mode.

7) Esc = Stop downloading a webpage.

8) Ctrl + (- or +) = To zoom the page.

9) Ctrl + Enter = quickly complete an address.

10) Shift + Enter  =Complete a .net instead of a .com address.

11) Spacebar = Moves down a page at a time.

These are some shortcuts that a user requires while browsing.

Hope you have got the perfect solution for your question.

Thank you.

Hi,

If its about switching from one browser tab to another tab only, all you have to do is press and hold the CTRL key, preferably the one at the bottom left of the keyboard, then tap the TAB key.

To return to your previous tab, press and hold the CTRL and the SHIFT keys, then tap the TAB key.
