  • I'm switching over to Firefox from Google Chrome now that Chrome is trying to kill uBlock Origin and similar extensions. So far I've managed to import my bookmarks, passwords, and userscripts over to Firefox; from a data-porting perspective, that was fairly easy.
  • When it comes to behavior, though, I'm running into a couple issues. I've gotten very used to switching to specific tabs that I have open by pressing [ctrl] [1], for instance, to go to the first tab I have open, or [ctrl] [0] to go to the last tab. This doesn't seem to work in Firefox.
  • Is there any way to recreate this behavior in Firefox? Or will I just have to live with not having this ability in exchange for a functional adblocker?
