[SOLVED] Flipping through Firefox 69.0.1 tabs (Ctrl+Tab) in Gnome 3.34

Hi all,

I have just recently upgraded to Gnome 3.34.0. I love most of the changes but I really don't get the tab switching behavior in Firefox Quantum 69.0.1 (64-bit), using Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

Some previews are missing (transparent preview windows with favicons, looks broken) and the screens are sorted in a 'used last' order. Completely unintuitive for me.

I am used to the tab switching behavior, which can still be achieved with Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown.

Does anyone know how I can get the Ctrl+PageUp / Ctrl+PageDown behavior back on Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab?

Thanks for your help.

I am using Gnome 3.24.0 and just tried Firefox 69.0.1.
Both key combinations ( Ctrl+PageUp / Ctrl+PageDown resp. Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab) work the same here.
Maybe it's some Gnome keyboard setting that overrides Firefox's shortcuts.

It is a firefox config: Options -> General -> Tabs. You can enable or disable the behavior there.

I was not aware of these settings. Thanks for pointing them out, that solved my problem.
