I use this gesture since Tab Kit days (old Firefox 3.x extension)

I've been always looking for a way to do something like this. Makes it so much more convenient to go back and forth between tabs. If you're lazy like me with navigating using the home bar arrows or the alt+arrow keys, this is for you.
