These are the blessed accelerators for switching tabs in GNOME, as 
stated by the HIG. It works in Firefox too.

You can do this on a per application basis (just activate the related 
menu item in Prefs → menus and toolbars -- some apps don't support it 
but feel free to fill a bug). But you won't be able to assign anything 
to the tab key combinations, AFAIK.
