Why can I no longer use arrow keys to go between tabs?

I recently got a new Windows 7 computer and have Firefox 3.6.10 installed on it. On my old computer I used to be able to double click the tabs so that they got a little "box" around the text (telling me it was selected) and then used the arrow keys to go back and forth between the tabs.

I liked doing it this way as that left a free hand to be able to close any tabs I didn't want open at the same time (unlike similar functions such as Ctrl + Page Up/Down which take two hands to operate) -- does anyone know if I can fix this? I read that pressing F7 might solve the problem, but that didn't seem to change anything.

In Firefox 3.5 and later you can no longer click the Tab bar to set focus to it.
You can press Ctrl+K (Mac: Cmd+K) to set focus to the search bar and press the Tab key until the tab bar gets focus.
