New But NS doesn't have an MDI mode.
Although since the tabs a bit like full window MDI mode, Ctrl+Tab would make sense.

Besides, Windows itself doesn't consider Ctrl+Tab special; AFAIR, the MDI handling is done almost entirely by the client (or a client library).

New Er, that was my point
But that point was made on the assumption that Ctrl+Tab was a 'reserved' Windows mechanism for switching between the D's of an MDI.

Does Ctrl+Tab have some kind of common use in the X windowing system world? (or any other non-Windows world) If so I guess it'd explain why Moz doesn't use it.

New Oh. Ah. Right. Okay.
As regarding MDI in Windows, yeah - to Windows itself, Ctrl+Tab is a reasonably ordinary keystroke.

I myself haven't encountered Ctrl+Tab in the X Windows world. Note I'm not trying to be unfair to the Moz developers, but I find it completely in character for the project to have chosen Ctrl+PgUp/Ctrl+PgDn instead of considering Ctrl+Tab.
