    If you have up to 9 tabs open, you can also use Ctrl + 1-9 on the numberbar above the letter keys to quick jump to a particular tab.

    Ctrl - PgUp/PgDn works on Windows and Unix (Solaris/Linux anyway).
    Ctrl - num doesn't work on Solaris/Linux. [I know this is a Window forum]

    Tools -> Options -> Privacy

    Expand the History bit and change that to 0 days. Then hit clear to dump the history cache. Just worked for me now.

    Actually, found a better solution.

    In the address bar, type about:config

    Scroll down to browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled. Right-Click on it, select "toggle" and then restart the browser. You should now be able to keep your history, but it won't autocomplete. :)
