Go to a Tab on Firefox Faster than the Ctrl + Tab Command

Got Nine tabs open in Firefox?? Want to get to it fast?? There is an easy way of accessing the tab without the Ctrl + Tab command.

Lets say you Have five tabs open. Digg, Slashdot, Google, GMail, and Protopage all opened up at the same time, lined up in that order.

If you wanted were on the GMail tab and you wanted to get to the Digg Tab quick, all you would have to do is press Ctrl + 1. Here is an easy way of putting it.

If Digg is the First tab, then you would press Ctrl + 1.

If Slashdot is the Second tab, then you would press Ctrl + 2.

If Google is the Third tab, then you would press Ctrl + 3.

If GMail is the Fourth tab, then you would press Ctrl + 4.

If Protopage is the Fifth tab, then you would press Ctrl + 5.

If you deleted the Slashdot Tab, then the formula would end up like this.

If Digg is the First tab, then you would press Ctrl + 1.

Since Slashdot was removed as a tab, Google moves up as the Second tab, therefore you would press Ctrl + 2.

GMail moves up as the Third tab, therefore you would press Ctrl + 3.

Protopage moves up as the Fourth tab, therefore you would press Ctrl + 4.

Ctrl + 5 would be nonexistant as a command unless another tab was opened in its place.

If you have more than nine tabs open, the commands still work, but they only work with tabs one through nine. Go ahead try it out yourself.
