changing the appearance of tab switching Topic is solved

[lonesomepoint]

I notice that in Pale Moon, the process of switching tabs is slightly different from Firefox's, at least by default(?). When you press ctrl-tab, a horizontal bar appears near the center of the screen to display the different tabs (only some, if you have many tabs open), and disappears when you let go of ctrl-tab. Although this seems to have at least one advantage (it's faster--if you switch to a tab not adjacent to the tab you were viewing, and then switch back, you will be returned to the other tab without having to cycle through all the tabs), I was perfectly happy with the old way of tab-switching, and probably prefer it. Is there a way to switch back?

set browser.ctrlTab.preview to false

Okay. In what file?

You access it by putting about:config in the URL bar. There are a LOT of setting accessible this way, so be careful about what you change.

That solved it, thank you.
