Can I get both old and new tab navigation behaviour?
I'm on Firefox 79, Windows 10. I get jarred by the new tab navigation behaviour, where Ctrl-Tab brings you to the most recent tab rather than the next tab shown along the top. However, I can see its merits. I would like to be able to use both, effortlessly, without having to delve into the preferences to switch behaviour. Is there a way to do this?

You can use Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown to navigate the tabs in the old way.

P.S. Functionality that might satisfy those who like the old behaviour and those who like the new one might be for Firefox to retain the new behaviour, but indicate along the top which tab is the focus as Ctrl-Tab is pressed in succession. Perhaps in future releases.....
