RTFM (Read the Firefox manual, keyboard shortcuts, mouse shortcuts):

  1. Next tab - ctrl-tab
  2. Previous tab - ctrl-shift-tab
  3. Close tab - ctrl-w or alternatively ctrl-F4

Also, if you have a special/"multimedia" keyboard, you can assign the extra keys to do fun stuff in Mozilla, like close tabs, etc.. Another huge advantage of Firefox is the Adblock extension, which allows you to selectively disable graphics from loading.

Still, while Firefox and CSS is a really nice and convenient idea, I don't think that dropping tables and NS4 support is a good idea for PM, as the browsers of mobile phones etc. don't work well without tables.

Update: Reworded keyboard shortcuts for closing a tab - it requires a chord of two keys to close a tab, but there are two alternatives.
