Temporarily show tab bar upon switching tabs with the keyboard in fullscreen mode

I use Firefox in fullscreen mode and switch tabs with Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn. I need to peek at the tab bar when I switch tabs, to avoid searching for the desired tab with multiple shortcut presses.

Is there a way to temporarily show the tab bar when I switch tabs with the keyboard shortcut? I want the tab bar to hide again after, say, 2 seconds of no tab switching.

You can try to set the focus to the location bar with Ctrl+L before switching the tabs to make the toolbar and tab bar appear.
