Make tab selecting hotkey on Windows similar to Linux

Hi,

When using Firefox on Linux, the hotkey I usually use to switch between tabs is Alt + <Tab index>. But when I switch to Windows, the hotkey becomes Ctrl + <Tab index>.

Is there any way to change this hotkey on Windows to become like Linux?

Thanks.

Beyond the defaults that Windows O/S and Firefox uses for their windows version hotkeys - changes beyond that is through 3rd party apps or userChrome.css edits to reassigned keyboard commands.

If you mean sequential navigation, i.e., Alt + Right Arrow goes Next, Next, Next along the tab bar, you can use this add-on I created for someone at some point:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hotkeys-for-tabs-left-right/

(That doesn't eliminate the standard Windows keyboard shortcut. Add-ons aren't allowed to directly change or remove built-in keyboard shortcuts, the only method is to inject a script into each page to intercept the shortcut, and it doesn't always work.)

Oh wait, you want Alt + number. There is a different add-on for that:
