    For the record (because I just looked it up, as I also have this problem): it’s ctrl+tab, but only if you enable “Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order” in Settings first.

      Default behavior is for psychopaths.

      I’m so confused every time I use a new browser.

      It’s so odd to me that this isn’t the default behaviour for all browsers especially Edge. It’s literally alt+tab behaviour but for some reason browser designers decided it wouldn’t work that way.

        This works in edge. Alt+tab also cycles between 2 tabs in edge if a previos tab was selected, or between windows if not. Which annoys the hell out of me, going from email to edge, switching to the tab I need to copy from and expecting alt+tab to bring me back to email and instead just goes back to the tab I didn’t want.

          Alt+tab also cycles between 2 tabs in edge if a previos tab was selected

          Alt+tab? What about ctrl+tab? What we were talking about…

          To answer my own question, I did a bit of searching and it looks like ctrl+tab still only cycles to the next tab in Edge. There’s a few requests for it to cycle to previous tab like alt+tab but looking through the settings and stuff it still doesn’t look like an option.

          Always happy to be proven wrong but it looks like it’s still not an option.

            I replied too quick, and missed the recent used order of the op. Edge just cycles left to right with ctrl+tab I think. However, alt+tab actually would have been the solution for the oop at least in edge. Because it does go to your last used tab.

    probably shift-command-tilde, since command-tilde is “next tab”. You can remember it because it’s one key away from command-tab and shift-command-tab to go to the next application and previous application.

    There are search in tab title extensions around, if your herding extension for the thousands of tabs not already supports that.

      Pretty sure Firefox can search for open tabs directly from the Awesome Bar out of the box. Can’t remember the specific character that activates that filter on the bar. Maybe ^ or ~

        Somebody else mentioned ‘%’ but even without that if the URL matches completely it will default to switching to an open tab with it already open.

    My brain can’t handle more than a dozen open tabs. If I need more than 8 or so, I’ll sling some in another browser instance. I honestly don’t know if this is because I’m dumb or smart, but at my last jobs the smarter people always had about 2 dozen tabs open. LOL, no one ever rebooted.

      I work with someone who never closes a tab. They’ll just keep plowing ahead until they literally have to reboot their computer for lack of resources. Physical clutter doesn’t bother me much, but I have to look away when they share their screen.

        Firefox tabs survive reboots and waste about as much resources as a bookmark. Those people should really migrate.

        I had a user that did this with outlook emails all the time. Since she was in leadership, we had to put up with it. At one point we even had to escalate it to Microsoft and they came back saying that Outlook is simply not designed to be used in such a fashion. That did not dissuade the user at all. After maxing out the computer specs, she ended up exceeding the actual limitation of the software for resources used.

        I think eventually she got fired for incompetence for other things. It was quite a relief.

      I believe, you can basically turn it off in Firefox, by telling it to open new windows instead of tabs.

      Might need to hide the tab bar via userChrome.css, though…
