by JohnnyTwoFingers, 7 years agoNot sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't seem to find the toolbar icon after installing?? I have this add-on working on Chrome and it is fantastic so hope I can get it working here.

posted 7 years agoThis is a very simple extension that is only for switching to next/previous tabs using F1/F2 and closing tabs with F3. Perhaps you were looking for a different extension with a similar name?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14913012, 6 years agoquick and easy to switch tab, however customize key doesn't really works, can't bind close tab to F4.
- Rated 5 out of 5by kishore, 6 years agoAwesome !!! we just need to install it and start using it using F1 and F2. Thanks for this add-on.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Swarnava Sengupta, 6 years agoGreat stuff. Since CMD/CTRL + SHIFT + L is existing shortcut for Firefox, it's broken on this addon. Do you think you can add any alternate shortcut?
- Rated 3 out of 5by Moo, 7 years agoVery good one... but it's a pity thjat this extension just exists in v1 and nothing happened.
So i've submitted a fork without the annoying "F3 to Close" function.

posted 6 years agoI've released version 1.1 which now allows you to customize each key binding. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13500836, 7 years ago日本製ブラウザSleipnirを使用していた頃からF2、F3でタブ切り替えを行っていたので、FirefoxではKeybinderを使用していました。
しかしVer57になり使用できなくなったためこちらに移行しました。
F2、F3へのキー割り当て設定が機能していないようですので、そちらだけ改善されれば完璧かと思います。 - Rated 3 out of 5by Sean Ryan, 7 years agoI like F1/F2 which are intuitive. But F3 - No, no, no! F3 is the Firefox 'Repeat Find' shortcut key which I use all the time, so accidentally close the tab. I accept that this extension is still in development because you acknowledge customization isn't possible - even though Options does show customize input boxes.
29Jul18 Update: V1.1 custom key binding doesn't solve problem of unwanted F3-Close behaviour. There is no information provided about what values can be entered, but by trial and error I found that if you type any value other than F1/F2/F3, when you press 'save' it is overwritten to the default F1/F2/F3. Suggested improvements:
1) Provide in-app guidance on entering custom keys.
2) Permit ALL F-keys: F1-F12.
3) Permit BLANK to indicate command not required: most likely to be used for CLOSE.
Developer's time and effort is always appreciated - thanks. For now, the alternative "QuickTabs Light" is my preferred app: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quicktabs-light/Developer response

OK, almost... I'd love it if the switching would work using the mouse wheel instead of F1 & F2 :) - Rated 5 out of 5by javvvier, 7 years agoGreat extension! Since my Opera times I got used to switch tabs with a key. From then, it's been quite a task to have this behaviour because extensions get outdated by Firefox as time goes by. Even the keys you chose (F1, F2 and F3) are the ones I'm used to work with. Thanks a lot for the hard work.
