Keep some smaller number of tabs displayed.  The leftmost is either the
global "first" tab, or a movement tab.  The rightmost is either the
global "last" or a movement tab.

Using CAPS to indicate active, i.e. tab contents displayed, my ASCII UI
design starts as:

_____________________________________________
 FIRST  | second  | third  | fourth | ==>   |
_____________________________________________


Then, if the operator clicks on, e.g., "third", it becomes:
_____________________________________________
 first  | second  | THIRD  | fourth | ==>   |
_____________________________________________


If the operator then clicks "==>", it becomes:
_____________________________________________
  <==   | THIRD   | fourth | fifth  | ==>   |
_____________________________________________


Another click on "==>" changes it to:
_____________________________________________
  <==   | FOURTH  | fifth  | sixth  | ==>   |
_____________________________________________


Etc.

Of course, this is my UI preference, and the actual way to do this is
left as an exercise...

I didn't pay much attention)
