Isn't it alt + left? I could swear I've done it before (but maybe not on Firefox...?)

Meanwhile when I was looking for a new browser a bit back I tried finding one without a tab feature at all lol
I believe, you can basically turn it off in Firefox, by telling it to open new windows instead of tabs.
Might need to hide the tab bar via userChrome.css, though...
Oh I have it figured out now :3
But ye, I have my browser set to launch a new window. Not on firefox tho, I switched off of it cause I didn't care to mess with files just to get the tab bar off of my screen lol
There are search in tab title extensions around, if your herding extension for the thousands of tabs not already supports that.

probably shift-command-tilde, since command-tilde is “next tab”. You can remember it because it’s one key away from command-tab and shift-command-tab to go to the next application and previous application.
@aard@kyu.de is that an actual issue for you?
treestyle tabs helps a lot with tab organization. Reasonably amount of tabs can't really be managed with the default tab interface of any browser (haven't tried the recently added native vertical tabs yet - they also added in tab groups, which I was heavily relying on before they ripped it out a bit over a decade ago. Not sure if I'll find back to my old workflow after all that time, though)
People really reinvent things like a bookmark manager.
I haven't really used bookmarks for probably close to two decades, for various reasons.
Keeping them synchronized always was a pain, and that was before you got into multiple browsers. That part at least is better now.
Then the interfaces to manage them sucked - I did try a bit back then to manage them externally, but the storage formats also were stupid.
And then I seemed to have reached the number of bookmarks the browsers no longer were able to handle (presumably due to the shitty way they were storing them), and adding or editing bookmarks always included several seconds between clicks to wait for the browser to react.
Pretty much everything apart from the first point is still true for the built in bookmark managers.
And tabs management is somehow better? I dont even wrap my head around that you'd have more bookmarks that it slows the browser but yet think that many tabs wouldnt?
Well, one thing is that I have significantly less tabs than I had bookmarks. My bookmarks where somewhere high in the 5-figure range, maybe even 6 figure.
My heaviest used system has less than 10k tabs open.
It's not ideal, but the tab trees in treestyle tabs mean I usually can just scroll a short bit and click to find what I need.
Ideal would be a fully external bookmark manager - but browsers don't have APIs for that, so you'd have to end up writing an extension just to talk to your external management solution, and since they gimped the firefox plugin system about a decade ago you don't really have any useful APIs for doing that. (I'm current maintainer of the emacs keybindings extension for firefox, it's a hot mess to get a fraction of the functionality that was possible with the old extension system working. No idea why they don't offer the ability to do custom keybindings)
I still cant fathom having that many bookmarks... generally if i dont use a website often enough, i dont even bookmark it because i will just forget the website even exists. So no point in bookmarking it to begin with. I rely on the history search. Just type the first two-three letters in the server address and it recalls every website i visited or have bookmarked, and includes web searches. Vastly more convenient.

Is that you Scott?
Ctrl + tab if LRU is set.
It's like alt + tab for windows, but for tabs. :)
Also: Ctrl + h.... What?! A searchable history of all URLs ever clicked? Tomfoolery!
