ANSWER 1

Score 25


Here are a couple of shortcuts that may be helpful.

  • Command + Tab = switch between applications
  • Command + ~ = switch between windows of an application
  • CTRL + Tab = move forward through tabs (in same window)
  • CTRL + Shift + Tab = move backward through tabs (in same window)



ANSWER 2

Score 17


My personal favorite is to hold Command + Shift and then use [ to flip left through tabs and ] to flip right.

Score 4


I finally found the answer. You have to hit Command + [number of desired tab]. e.g. Command+1 takes you to the first 'tab', Command+2 the second, etc etc.




ANSWER 4

Score 2


In Firefox on macOS:

  • Ctrl + PageUp and Ctrl + PageDown to switch tabs, and PageUp can be simulated with Fn + Up;
  • Command + 1 for first tab, etc; and
  • Command + 9 for last tab.
