Firefox behaves differently on Linux?

Puneet Lakhina asks: Is it just me or is it that the shortcut in Firefox for moving between tabs on Windows is Ctrl+Number Key while on Linux (Ubuntu) its Alt+Number Key. Ctrl + Number Key doesnt do anything for me on firefox.

Yadu Rajiv responded, ``i used to use Ctrl + Tab to go forward a tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to move backward.. :| never really used ctrl + number''.

Kazim Zaidi pointed out that, ``Its not just you. I just noticed that Alt+Number is not working in Windows. Anyways I'm comfortable in Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn, and they work everywhere.'' and that you could try using Ctrl+Alt+Number. They should work on both.

Alok G. Singh in the meantime suggested a look at http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard

Arindam Ghosh pointed out that this Alt+Number method has a potential problem. If the number of tabs are greater than 10 then you are in a fix. In that case, Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+PgUp seems more versatile
