I want to know if there was any changes in recent tab cycling behavior? Now I need not press enter or click mouse button on one tab from list. Before there was instant tab changing after stop pressing keys (ctrl+tab). Greetings Kamil Tomicki

I know what the problem was. I have caps lock mapped to ctrl on my Gnu/Linux machine. But when the tab cycling is switched to 'recently visited' mode ctrl and caps lock works differently. Ctrl + Tab works as expected, but caps lock (mapped to ctrl) work in different way (pop up shows up but you need to press LPM or enter to select certain tab, not just release shortcut buttons), so I think firefox ignore that mapping and treat caps lock as caps lock in this particular case.
