Ctrl + Shift + Tab selects the previous open tab.
Rather unhelpfully these shortcuts are not listed within the menus in Firefox on the Mac. As I’ve only just realised this, I thought others might like to know.

Not if your version of Explorer lacks the tabbing feature.
Upgrade!
Work PC...I wouldn't be using IE. Firefox is at home.
Fair point.
My claim was flawed.
FYI - Ctrl + Tab on Linux KDE systems is used to tab between desktops. So unless I change the settings, Firefox tabs won't switch with this trick.
Personally, I always use Ctrl+{#} where {#} is the number of the tab I'm going to. (In Firefox at least)
Nice tip, Daniel.
rbenech, thanks, forgot about Linux.
