Recently Mozilla slipped out a new version to Firefox – Firefox 3.6, packed with some revamped and some new features. Now it turns out that Firefox 3.6 is capable of integrating the Windows-like Alt-tab feature natively.

With this new feature, called the Ctrl-Tab Preview, you can quickly navigate through all open tabs using the key combination ‘Ctrl’ + ‘Tab’, similar to the Alt-Tab feature in Windows.

How to enable Ctrl + Tab Preview feature in Firefox 3.6?

1) Open Firefox 3.6 and in the address-bar, write ‘about:config’ and press Enter.

2) Click ‘I’ll be careful, I promise!’ button and you will be presented with a huge list of configuration options.

3) In the ‘Filter’ box, write ‘browser.ctrlTab.previews’ and you will be able to see its entry below.

4) Double-click on it to make it ‘True’.

Now you can ‘preview’ all the open tabs using Ctrl+Tab hotkey.

Enjoy!
