    At first I gave it 3 stars because it only seemed to work half of the time. Now I am dropping it to 1 star because not only does it still not work most of the time, but it started freezing up Firefox. I only have 12 tabs (plus 7 pinned/app tabs) open and a yellow bar appears on the screen saying "A script in the extension "Back to Close WE" is causing Firefox to slow down." It then gave the options to temporally disable the extension on the current page, stop it, or wait. Instead I chose to remove the add-on entirely. I'm not sure if there is any other way I can accomplish this feature, but its not worth bogging down my entire browser.

    This sounds very odd. Nothing in the scrips should have the ability to hog down your browser. My suspicion is that there might be something else going on.

    Does exactly what it says and does it very well.

    I really like this extension but is there a way to stop the notification of it being installed every time FF updates?

    The notification has been completely removed as of version 0.7.0 :D

    Really handy addon. I've removed one star because there are some known minor issues but it's still an recommendation.
  • troch Jakob K. B., 7 jierren lyn
    Thank you so much for this.
    It actually even starts working at some point before the site has completely finished loading.
    I wish it was a built-in feature of Firefox.

    I was so happy when I found this after updating to newest Firefox. Needs a little work but very happy to have it! Thanks you!

    This addon is very useful, can't live without it. Works quick and without a hitch. I know it's been said before but thanks again for developing a webextension version of back to close, I've been back to closing for years.

    Such a simple little feature greatly enhances the way I browse with tabs. It works with ALL back controls such as the mouse buttons, backspace key, and etc. The only minor annoyance is that it is creating a "new tab" that seems to pop in as its closing which is only visually distracting.

    Very good replacement for the old Back to Close addon! Well done! My only gripe is that it pops up a notification when it updates.

    Great extension, nearly replaces Back to Close from versions prior.

    One small bug—In newly opened tabs, the URL will appear in the title bar rather than the actual title.

    Thanks a lot for the nice review :D
    When exactly does this happen? I seem to be unable to reproduce, but maybe I'm opening tabs different or something. Could you maybe file an issue on the github or send a mail/tweet with your reply, thanks in advance :)

    It's a beautiful thing! However, is there a way for the extension to NOT access data for all websites? Shouldn't it only need browser history in order to function?
  • troch Firefox-brûker 13471769, 8 jierren lyn
    Works perfectly. Thanks!

    Glad to see a WE having this feature. But some situations do not allow the back button to work properly. If I load a series of tabs from a folder in the Bookmarks Bar using the 'Open All in Tabs' feature, the WE does not work to close these tabs. I am hoping to see this fixed in the near future as its a great add-on for FF. Thanks again.

    Add on now does this properly - thanks. One more thing if I open a site with no parents and hit the Back button the tab should close. That would be great! Love this app...

    This is a very useful add-on. I don't know why this functionality isn't built into Firefox for Desktop automatically (it is effectively on mobile).


    Doesn't work on new tabs opened from the bookmark bar.
    Edit: Firefox just updated, and now it's working fine.

    The regular back button is illuminated. I prefer the way Back IS Close (not compatible with recent Firefox versions) replaces the back button with a close icon instead. I have no idea if such a features is still possible to implement.
    Edit: It's unfortunate that this is impossible in web extensions. I'm not sure what the best substitute would be. Likely I will get used to it.

    Glad you like the addon :)
    How are you opening tabs from the the bookmark bar? If I right click on a link on it (or in a folder on it) and then select "Open in a New Tab", it correctly opens a new tab with the proper back button functionality. Are you doing something different? If so I'd love to hear so I can make it work with that too (contact info in addon description).

    Unfortunately it's not possible for a web extension to replace the icon of the back button. The only alternative would be to provide a button with the desired functionality. I would be happy to implement this if you'd like - however it has 2 pretty major downsides:
    1) Would only work with the compact layout as web extensions can't make big fancy buttons like the native back button
    2) It seems to be impossible to remove the browsers default back button without using advanced (and requiring manual work by the user) to remove the browsers native back button - so you'd end up having multiple back buttons :/
