This binds `C-x b' to a call to allTabs.open(), which is defined in content/browser-tabPreviews.js in the FF4 code base.

Usually one gets this functionality by hitting C-S-TAB, given that browser.ctrlTab.previews is set to true (false is the default).

Additional Notes:

C-x b RET switches to the first tab.
C-x b "some text" RET switch to the first tab in the narrowed list of tabs.
C-x b "some text", i-times TAB and RET switches to the i-th tab in the in the narrowed list of tabs.
Alternatively to the i TAB strokes in the former item you can press TAB just once to move the focus to the tab grid and use the arrows keys to navigate to the desired tab.
I more or less by accident discovered that 'C-x C-g' closes the panel. I think it works because it changes the focus, since clicking anywhere outside the panel closes it as well.

While editing these very comments I came to the conclusion that it's counter intuitive to not have C-x b working while editing. Hence the case change from View to Comment.
