Hey, Can someone tell how to use alt-tab to switch between two tabs?
Are there any add-ons to do this.

Kevin,

Are you aware that you can switch tabs using ctrl-tab (on windows)?

cheers,

No add-on is needed.

Alt+Tab in Windows switches between applications.
Ctrl+Tab in Firefox switches between tabs, Ctrl+Shift+Tab goes in opposite direction

Keyboard and Mouse shortcuts several browsers (Windows)

If not on Windows or Linux, you might want to look at this one
where you can select your Operating System and your version of Firefox

should have included -- though I seldom use it
Tab Select (1-8) Ctrl+[1 - 8]
Tab Select Last Tab Ctrl+9
