Is there a keyboard shortcut for toggling back and forth to the last visited tab in Firefox like alt-tab behaves in Windows?

MicTech is correct, but by default Firefox will scroll through the tabs in order of opening. If you want to toggle between 2 tabs among more than 2, then use the wonderful TabMixPlus addon. With this you can set CTRL + TAB to toggle between the two most recently used. Has a whole heap of other great functions.

Yes, I think Ctrl+Tab is what you need.

And you can improve this function via some addons for FF.

Also Ctrl+Shift+Tab to go backwards. – Nick Josevski

If you have more tabs you can press CTRL + 1 for the first, CTRL + 2 for the second etc, if you have more than 9, the last tab will always be number 9. – artifex Mar 11 '10 at 4:24

CTRL+ the number of the tab you want to go...

EX: Consider 5 tabs

CTRL+4 goes to the 4th tab`...
