I am used to switching the tab by pressing Ctrl+Right/Left, unfortunately, all of a sudden FF 3.6.16 (Palemoon edition) don't respond to me today. What can I do to fix it? and How is this happened?

Searching Google, read the question & answer, post. Found this page: [List of keyboard shortcuts in Mozilla Firefox] (which contain all FF Keyboard shortcuts) it clearly show that by default Ctrl+Right/Left/Up/Down is the hot key, wonder why it don't work for me.

Had run safe mode, same in safe mode.

That only works if the Tab bar has focus (you see a focus ring on the selected tab).

You can't set focus to a tab by clicking the tab. You need to set focus to the location bar or search bar and press the Tab key until the Tab bar gets focus. Then the shortcut keys should work.

You can use "Ctrl + Page Up" and "Ctrl + Page Down" as alternatives that always work.
