It seems to work fine there, as long as you have focus inside the doc when you hit the ctrl-key. (Also the release notes for b2 say something about undoing some tab shortcut behaviors...) If that's broken with the release FF3.1, you can bet it'll get fixed from one side or the other -- too important a shortcut to get broken. Did you try 3.0b2?

I disabled this immediately. about:config browser.ctrlTab.mostRecentlyUsed = false! Sorry, but I am used to the work flow of being able to move through my tabs. In order to go through all the tabs now, I either have to mouse-click, or click tab a lot more than I used to... This actually decreased the browsers functionality for me, rather than increasing it. Frustrating! I can see where some people may like this. I think it should be an available option. But, make it something changeable under preferences - rather than about:config.

Just by choosing the Tab Mix Plus option of "Open new tabs next to current one", each incarnation of Firefox is transformed from a browser that is merely good into one that is excellent. I've used Firefox since shortly after it first came out - now I can't think how I ever managed without Tab Mix Plus. Totally agree.

Thanks big brother for your nazi-esque clenched-buttocks freakoid authoritarian control, but you dirtbags are just getting a bunch of email addresses that go to disposable accounts.

With every new install it takes me 2 hours just to hunt down and turn off all the embedded phone-home tricks.
