Hi I use firefox on Linux and want to change to the first, second, third, ..., last tab with ctrl+1/2/3/.../9 instead of alt+1/2/3/.../9 because alt is already mapped to changing desktops. any idea how I could accompilish this?

edit: I use mac and windows at work and there the shortcuts are ctrl+<number>. It would be so nice to have consistent shortcuts 🐧

This article by firefox didn't help because the action/shortcut/hot key was not shown ...

Try this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ctrl-number-to-switch-tabs/

If it doesnt work, your best option is to either find another extension that does. or bite the bullet and configure a key remapper like keyd and make a "layer" to toggle the bind alt+(num) to ctrl+(num).

shortkeys doesn't install (maybe because I'm on ARM?). The error is Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt.
