Firefox has keyboard shortcuts for selecting tabs 1 to 8, namely ALT-1 to ALT-8. Also very useful is ALT-9 to select the last tab, regardless of how many tabs there are.

These shortcuts are vital to me, so I had to comment out this line in .jwmrc (followed by "jwm -restart"):

<!-- <Key mask="A" key="#">desktop#</Key> -->

Here the # represents a number key.

Other key combos can be used to switch to desktop N. Here are masks that work:

A - Alt
C - Control
S - Shift
4 - Super_L

Since I don't switch desktops much, I use the CTRL-SHIFT prefix:
<Key mask="C-S" key="#">desktop#</Key>

For those who switch desktops a lot, and aren't already using CTRL-n, this is handier:
<Key mask="C" key="#">desktop#</Key>
