In text fields, Ctrl+Left/Right is used for full word selection. Now, some sites have java/js-based text entry fields, which intercept keystrokes and change content accordingly. In such cases recent sm trunk nightlies do not pass the Ctrl+Left/Right on, but rather switch to the next or previous tab. There should be a check of whether the keystroke is about to be intercepted by something on the page, and only if this is not the case should it be used for tab switching.

Please provide a URL to such a site so we can try to reproduce the problem.
BTW, is there a pref for disabling the Ctrl+arrow behavior altogether? It's very disorienting in general for me.
This is no good, it break caret browsing too.

Maybe related to Firefox bug 316280?
