Is there a way to switch quickly to the previous tab in the same window in the Mac version of Firefox?

I love being able to rapidly move through my active windows by clicking on a side button on my mouse without having to click on Windows in the toolbar and hunt for the window I want to switch to. It's increased my productivity considerably.

It would be great if I could also switch rapidly back to the previous tab in the window by double or triple clicking on it, or a keyboard shortcut, or via the right click menu. Is there a way to do that? Right now the only way to return to the previous tab is to close the one I'm on. I'm on MacOS Monterey and Firefox 147.0.1. Using control-tab to bring up a horizontal display of the tabs and hunt for the one I want is a bit cumbersome due to the number of tabs I have open in some of my windows.

Nevermind, I just figured out how to do it reasonably well using the control tab menu.
