What is Hotkey Tabs?
Hotkey Tabs is a Firefox add-on that enables users to quickly switch between and load frequently visited webpages using keyboard shortcuts.

Users can customize the action for each hotkey, such as switching/opening sites or pages, and even using regular expression matching to determine tab matches.
