Presuming you already have some tabs open, press VO + Up to stop interacting with HTML, then move left and right to the tab you desire and then VO + space to perform a mouse click then VO + Down to interact with HTML
I guess you can now see why some users prefer to use windows instead of tabs, not sure if there is a key stroke like VO+F2 to enable users to quickly navigate tabs in their preferred order instead of using control + TAB which lets you cycle through in a linear format.
