How do I change Alt to Ctrl in Firefox?

[iisan00b]

Hi peeps, sorta new user here (still working things out).

In Windows, when using Firefox if I wanted to flick between individual tabs I can just use Ctrl+NUMBER to select individual tabs.

With Ubuntu, the same action only seem to work when using the Alt key, not Ctrl. Is there a way to change Firefox in Ubuntu so it registers Ctrl instead of Alt for selecting a tab? I'd prefer to remain consistent between platforms if possibly, and I'm already used to the Ctrl arrangement.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum , I just see a lot of post traffic here so what better place to get a quick answer. :)

I'm really not sure, I actually never used Ctrl-number for switching tabs before, good tip to know.

I'm also not sure how to resolve your problem.

I went to the address bar and popped in about:config

Yet, there doesn't seem to be any specific key-preferences under browser.tab stuff.

Perhaps there's an extension on http://www.mozilla.com that can do what you need?

I would start there, if anything. Sorry I can't be of more help.
