SwiftTabs 0.3.6–Compatible with Firefox 3.5 now
The original author Kim Go Myoung of the firefox plugin seems to have stopped updating it. His personal site also seems to go offline.
At first, I need to thank the original author to create such a great plugin. It is already very good, although there is still a small problem. That is when you use the shortcut key, whatever you set it to, if the tab is the last one, Firefox will be shut down.
In this version, this is fixed. When close the last tab, it will be reset to a blank tab or your homepage, depending on your configuration in Firefox.
Enjoy it, guys. If any problems, leave comments here.

@ 613 The Evil,
Here is a new beta version. I just added three keys “Num 1″, “Num 2″ and “Num 3″ to list of keys. Try them by yourself. I use a laptop, so it is not easy to test them. Also, the keyborads of different models, for example the ones from UK and USA are different, may have different values for the same key. I think that is one of the reasons why the original author did not implement this.
Anyway, try this first and give me some feedback.
OH, by the way, did you use any other plugins to swift tab with num keys as you mentioned? Maybe I can study something from other people.
Thanks
0.3.5.1 beta
Hello, thanks for reviving this awesome add-on. But PLEASE… Please add the numpad keys in the possible keys’ list for the next/close/previous tab function. I was using Num 4/Num 5/Num 6 before, I use the mouse with my left hand, I am a proud left-hander.
Please I believe it is relatively easy to do what I am asking. I am waiting for the new version! Thanks.

Hello, thanks for your time, sorry I didn’t reply earlier. in the new beta I can see the Num 1, 2, 3 options only in menu of the previous tab function, not the other 2. And I tried them all, none seemed to work. I use a laptop too, at least for now. I tried with num lock on or off… It was not working. But when I put 4 5 6, the numpad numbers work too… I’d prefer you make available these number keys too, if and when you come around on fixing it. Because they also have the left and right arrows on Num 4 and Num 6, easier to associate with previous/next tab. Also Num 1 and Num 3 act as End and Page Down in my keyboard, probably in others too. Well, I remember the numpad keys were an option in the Firefox 2 versions… So, I really hope you fix it, somehow. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for fixing this bug. I didn’t realize SwiftTabs was causing the problem. However, I have found another problem that has not been resolved since the update to FF3. The behavior is essentially a skipping of tabs (see review from pawn3d on the FF Add-on site:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/reviews/display/380). I have figured out that the issue lies with the accessibility.typeaheadfind setting. Any thoughts on fixing this?
Thanks
