After closing a tab firefox should open the last active tab

[KDAM71]

When I close a #tab #firefox always opens the tab to the right of it. I would like to suggest it opens the tab #last #active before the closed one.

I use firefox 117.0.1 x64 for windows (at the moment: the version number is expected to go up :))

Yea. I just trying  to find such small expansion if it exist. I considering if I will be able to return to Firefox after i abandoned it when old expansions was removed. I used for some time Waterfox but had to move to others because of support. I try to use chrome but it is very bad web browser for managing and using many tabs (very bad for many tabs also from time to time all grouping is destroyed and tabs reversed making total mess). F.e. waterfox or old firefox worked much better. That is why i am testing newer (and less configurable) Firefox if it will be better then chrome for me.

I always use:

1) Possibility to jump between at last 2 active tabs (or more). There was long time ago expansion focus last selected tab (flst) with such functionality (with clicking active tab and moving using shortcut) - first is not possible anymore on FF but second work good with ctr+tab.

2) To open tabs right to active one <- I was able to set it on FF

3) To move to last active after tab closing. <-- this is what you talk about and it is essence for me

4) Good focus on active tab after 1, 2, 3

5) Good ability to change size of tabs and then possibility to scroll tabs - no opinion so far but it feels better then chrome so far.

6) uBlock <- it is on FF

7) Possibility to mark many tabs and move them to different places <- FF has it

😎A way to synchronise with other browsers on other PCs or even a extension to copy adresses of selected tabs to text file and then import it again after copy to browser.

9) Good way to group some tabs. I think you need extension for it, unfortunately dont see it in new FF.
