Make Ctrl+tab keyboard shortcut not loading content until shortcut key gets released.
So navigating in tabs by Ctrl+tab keyboard shortcut don't load (almost) all visible tabs.

As this is a fast switch and that content could be not loaded because of bug 561149 or https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586068#c21 with pref to 0, Fx shouldn't wait for the tabs to be loaded and the user should rely on tabs titles to navigate.

Reproducible: Always
Depends on: 561149, 586068

Set gBrowser._previewMode to true when Ctrl+Tab is pressed.
Set gBrowser._previewMode to false when Ctrl is released, and call gBrowser.updateCurrentBrowser.
Interesting idea, doesn't block the release.

It's good idea.
I'm triaging bug I reported, to clean Bugzilla at my level ;-)

Can this bug leave the unconfirmed status ? (I think there is no reason)
For a Resolved/Wontfix if you think that's not UX we want (ux-wanted ?)
Or to New in the opposite case.
