[A] shows:
Ctrl+tab
Tab Wheel Scroll
New Tab Homepage
Prefswitch
Tab Sidebar

[B] shows:
Ctrl+tab
Tab Wheel Scroll
New Tab Homepage
Back IS Close
RadialContext-mz
...

Confirming. Do a search for "tab preferences" in the Get Add-ons window and then click the "See all results" link and the resulting page does not list the same search results. Could be that the results are sorted differently here and the returned top 5 are different?
