Firefox shortcut to list open tabs


Hi all,

Just as the title says, is there a shortcut that would let you list all open tabs in Firefox? Same as the list you get with your mouse when you click the small arrow on the top right corner on the tabs toolbar.

I tried some extensions, but I would like a shortcut more.

Thanks in advance,

faizlo

AFAIK, not without an extension.

I know that Tab Mix Plus provides an option to pop up and walk through the open tabs with ctrl+tab. You can activate it in the "events > tab features" section of its settings.

Thanks,
I could find "tab menu" which puts "Tabs" after the tools menu in the tool-bar.
It is almost what I wanted.

Is there any way we can ask Firefox people to include this shortcut (if not included already?)

Well, you could try to file a bug report or something. But I bet you they'll just say that this is something that belongs in an extension. And I'd agree with them, as it's just a convenience feature that most people don't really need. You can already walk through the tabs anyway using ctrl+pageup/pagedown or jump to specific tabs with alt+1-9. You just don't get a popup for it.

Yo might want to take this up at the mozillazine forums if it's that important to you. The people there would be more knowledgeable about this specific subject.
