The vertical space you can easily fix by opening the hamburguer menu > customize > density (bottom left) > compact. It then uses less space than chrome. You can also add/remove items from the top bar there, making your address bar larger if you want to.

The default hotkeys for next/prev tab are cmd+option+left/right arrow. I don't know how to change those...

i use ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab for tabbing. easier 1-handed operation and closer to other "change context" shortcuts like next/prev window (cmd-~, cmd-shift-~) and select desktop/space (ctrl-1, ctrl-2, etc).

yeah, I'm muscle-memoried into cmd-' and cmd-; for tabbing right and left, I like using those keys, and this is across pretty much everything I use (I suppose chrome and terminals, mostly..). It's firefox, there's probably an extension for it, but that takes work to find and feels kludgy.

good to know about the density, thanks.

In the mac settings about keyboard/shortcuts, you can define program specific shortcuts; e.g. take the exact name from the firefox menu for the 'next tab' action and give the shortcut you want.

Right, so that's part of my gripe. in keyboad shortcuts, i've got global (all applications) shortcuts for select/show next/previous tab. Those dont map to firefox. Fine, but Firefox doesn't have a menu title for next tab, so setting a shortcut for a non-named function doesn't work. I've tried the documentation(https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perf...), using "go one tab to the left" doesn't work. It's just way more effort to figure out than it needs to be for a browser in 2019.....

I apologize, you are completely right (was not on the Mac when I answered and mixed it up with Terminal and Finder).
