Another way to expose the tabs in Firefox is to press Ctrl-K to get to
the search  bar and then hit tab once.  Now you should be in the list
of open tabs.  From here, just use the left and right arrow keys to
move through the available tabs and press tab once again to go into
that tab and focus it.
