Firefox – How to make firefox awesomebar “switch to tab” first of the propositions list

awesomebarbrowser-tabsfirefox

In Firefox (actually IceWeasel but it doesn't matter) I'd like to be able to quickly switch between tabs using my keyboard. The "switch to tab" feature of the AwesomeBar is exactly what I need, but I would like to have it (if available) always as the first element of the suggested urls. Or at least to have something like having shiftenter perform the available "switch to tab" action instead of opening the first suggested url as enter would do.

I didn't find anything in about:config.

Anyone knows if it's possible and how?

If you start your query with a % sign, it will search in your currently open tabs.

There are other filters for searching in bookmarks, history, URLs...
