ctrl_tabs Firefox

ctrl_tabs

Switch tabs using Ctrl instead of Alt. Intended for i3 users.

Features & Capabilities

Tired of using i3 and moving your hands all the way to your mouse to change tabs in Firefox because the Alt+<tab_number> does not work?

This add-on is for you! Now you change tabs with Ctrl+<tab_number>.

New keyboard shortcuts you unlock with this add-on:

  • Ctrl+[1-9] move to the tab number.
  • Ctrl+Alt+0 move to the last tab.
  • Ctrl+Alt+l move to the right tab.
  • Ctrl+Alt+h move to the left tab.
  • Ctrl+Alt+q close the current tab.

This add-on does not override the defaults Alt+[1-9] shortcuts.

Is ctrl_tabs Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ctrl_tabs does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
