The behavior for ctrl+shift+tab is confusing. Without this extension, I can use Ctrl+tab to go to the next tab, and ctrl+shift+tab to go back to the previous tab. This extension hijacks ctrl+shift+tab to do something completely different.
I installed the add-on and it simply doesn’t work. It shows up in my add-ons menu,
but hitting ctrl+tab does what it’s always done…simply advance to the next tab.
Also, the settings button in the add-on menu is there but greyed-out.
I’m a little ticked off. I’m running Firefox 3.6 on Windows 7. In installed your add-on, didn’t like an aspect of it, so I uninstalled it. But it’s still functioning on my Firefox install! What the hell? Now I have no instance of it in my add-ons list, so there’s nothing to remove, but when I press ctrl+tab, sure enough it brings up the display of the open tabs, and switches back and forth between the two most recently used tabs instead of linearly switching between the tabs. This is really pissing me off. I am not liking the idea of reinstalling Firefox.
I seem to be observing the same behavior as Matt above: I had the extension on under FF 3.6 on Vista, and it wasn’t properly highlighting the selected tab after hitting ctrl-tab (and then further hits on tab didn’t show the highlight moving). So I decided to try disabling the extension and restarted Firefox. To my surprise the extension was still active as I saw no change in behavior…
[Or is it that your extension is now part of the standard 3.6 ???]

Seit ich den Firefox von 3.5.x (3.5.8) auf 3.6 aktualisiert habe passen die Farben nicht mehr, der Hintergrund ist weiß und nicht mehr dunkel/grau und es ist nicht mehr erkennbar, welches Tab markiert ist. Der Rahmen ist nicht mehr sichtbar, oder farblich nicht mehr erkennbar.
FF 3.6
Win7 Enterprise
und “Office 2007 Black” Theme, falls das wegen der Farben einen Einfluß hat!?

I also have the problem of this extension not uninstalling properly. However, you can completely turn it off by setting the browser.allTabs.previews parameter in about:config to false

Hi there,
I use ctrl-tab a lot in win/linux but when I tried to switch in osx 10.6(holding ctrl and pressing tab) the tabs dont change…
Do os x needs some config to ctrl-tab to work?
Is there any chance to improve cooperation with TabGroups Manager plugin?
In particular, Ctrl-Tab’s tab grid shows content of all active groups, not just of the focused group. The same for the ctrl-tab navigation.
Hi, I love this addon but am sad to see that the original tab-list drop down menu has completely disappeared. In some cases I found the traditional list quicker than the grid view.
Would it be possible to add an option to keep the traditional drop-down list button in addition to the grid-view button?
hi all.Is there any way of uninstalling this addon without removing firefox?Even if I have uninstalled this addon, it is still functioning.If anyone knows how to, please write it down.
wasd: The ctrl+tab functionality is built into Firefox 3.6, therefore uninstalling this addon will not stop the built in functionality working. To disable the built in ctrl+tab feature you need to set browser.ctrlTab.previews to false in about:config. You can also set the browser.allTabs.previews setting to false to remove the button at the end of the tab bar.
look, if it worked it’d be great- same problem as a poster above, installed it, options button greyed out- does nothing and uninstalled it. Tried again, still does nothing- waste of 10 minutes. FF V3.5.9
this is a great add-on. Please consider add two additional features to future releases:
1. Add a keyboard shortcut to bring out the tab “filter” window
2. Allow right click to show the original tab list drop-down menu
Ctrl-Tab
