Is there a way that I can kind of "tab-browse" through my tabs in Safari or Firefox? I'm too lazy to scroll up and select each tab. If there's a combination of keys I can press to go through the tabs, that would rock.
 
Command (the apple/squiggly key) + Shift + ] will go to the next tab in Safari, Command + Shift + [ goes to the previous one... in Safari click the Window menu and third from top is the option with keyboard shortcut next to it
 
Load up the Tab Mix Plus extension for Firefox. It gives the option for Ctrl-Tab, which is exactly what I expect to work for this. Gives lots of other great features, too.

Ctrl-Tab to move right through tabs and Ctrl-Shift-Tab to move left does not require any extensions. Neither does Ctrl-Page-up / Ctrl-Page-dwn.
 
to navigate through the tabs open in firefox..you can navigate through up to 9 tabs using command-1 command 2 command 3 and so on....so if you want tab six...you hit command 6 :D
 
Look in the Window menu. "Select Next Tab" and "Select Previous Tab" have the keyboard shortcuts right next to them. :p Command { and Command } (that's Command Shift [ and Command Shift ], respectively). The arrow keys also work, but I find the bracket combination easier to press.
 
some helpful tab shortcuts for firefox newbies:
ctrl-tab - tabs through each tab (as said)
command-w - closes tab (or window when no tabs are left)
command-r - refresh
command-t - new tab
