Not sure what you mean.  I'm running Firefox and Thunderbird on OS X, 
and they use Ctrl-Tab.  Cmd-Tab is reserved for application switching on 
OS X.

I don't think there is any official Apple pack-in program that uses tabs 
at all.  But then they do have a document-based window manager, so it's 
probably not a necessity.
