Browser tabs shortcuts

Some will know this already, I only just found out about it - by accident nogal.

In Firefox 3 and IE 7 you can press Control and a number to activate that tab. So if google is in the first tab and MYBB in the second tab, pressing Ctrl+1 will activate the google tab and Ctrl+2 will activate the MYBB tab.

Prefer Ctrl+Tab.

Ja, I also discovered that if you take your mouse and move it to the tab... and click on that tab with your left mouse button it activates that tab.

I middle click so much to create new tabs, etc, I sometimes even middle click on the start menu expecting it to open

I thought Win+R, typing in restart and pressing enter was a quick way to refresh all browser tabs.
