I would like to switch between last used tab, not to iterate through all tabs, is there a shortcut?
While working or doing research I usually want to switch between two specific tabs. Like I have 15 tabs open an often switch between 2. and 12., right now there are shortcuts only to move to adjoining windows not to jump to previously active. I know I could move the window next to it or into separated window or iterate through tabs (this will start loading them when they "sleep" and uselessly slow firefox), but that isn't really comfortable. I really miss this shortcut and I think this wouln't be hard to add :)
Chosen solution
So you want to switch between tabs in the "recently visited" order. It's Ctrl+Tab, with the preference browser.ctrlTab.previews = true

Hello, on your keyboard press alt, and then the number of the tab you want to access.
Example: Alt + 6 opens the 6th tab.
If this solved your problem, mark as solution.
Still not good solution - you have to count that witch tab it is and if its 9th tab or more this solution fails.

And how to set it?
In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following:
- In the address bar, type about:config and press the Enter key.
- The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
