That's absolutely baffling, I had no idea. I've been lucky in that my muscle-memory-trained tab switch shortcut is the one that Firefox uses (Cmd+Option+arrows) and I apply that to every other app on Mac.
I did. But the Firefox UI is still very Windows-centric, and doesn't feel like a real Mac program at all.
But the big reason I don't use it is that you can't define how to switch from tab to tab.
Every program on my Mac from Safari to Nova to VS Codium to my database manager allows me to switch tabs with the standard macOS Keyboard Shortcuts settings. So I use the same keys to switch tabs in every program on my Mac. Which is part of the whole Mac experience — Things happening the same way between apps.
Even the Finder, and the DuckDuckGo browser allow this.
Not so with Firefox. The simple addition of "Show Next Tab" and "Show Previous Tab" in the drop-down menus would fix this. It's so simple. So elementary. So basic to every other Mac program I use that its absence in Firefox is glaring. I'm not going to rearrange the muscle memory I use all day every day for one program.
