How to cycle through Firefox tabs “normally”?

I reinstalled Firefox, version 63, and now Ctrl-TAB and Ctrl-Shift-TAB don't work to cycle through existing tabs. If I open Firefox and open a second tab, Ctrl-Shift-TAB does nothing, and I expected it to return to the first tab. If I hold the Ctrl-TAB keys, I have a thumbnail preview of Firefox tabs, as in this picture:



Firefox menu of tab cycling



How can I get the "normal" behavior?

          That sounds like Ctrl-TAB is using the recently used order. You can change settings at Preferences > General > Tabs, and uncheck "Ctrl-Tab cycles through tabs in recently user order".
