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 :/

    Stopped working apparently

    Edit: Since Version 135, you need to set browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction to false so it works again. This enables websites to spam your history with false entries, so be aware of that.

    I think there's no way for the developer to fix this sadly.

    Finding this was a revelation. But latest firefox versions have broken the extention😥

    It is the best addon for firefox, however as of 135, it is broken.

    Workaround with SECURITY RISKS seems to be to disable browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction
    I'm not sure that's smart.

    Had to change `browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction` to `true` to make it work. Other than that, does exactly what I need

    I love this addon but it doesn't work anymore in the latest version of firefox 😢

    For everyone having issue with the new Firefox 135.0 update, here is a temporary workaround: I am not responsible for any security breach it might cause to your browser!!

    Go to "about:config" on URL bar, search for "browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction", change that value from true to false. The app should work right away.

    Again, this is sacrificing your own security, so do it only if you know exactly what you are doing.

    数年間正常で快適に動作していましたが、アップデートの影響で動作しなくなりました。

    What happened? Suddenly this add-on stopped working?
  • door Smed, 4 maanden geleden
    This is a great extension but seems to have stopped working after the release of 135. I really hope it can be fixed as it's broken my muscle memory.

    No longer works, please update!
  • door Firefox-gebruiker 12432924, 2 jaar geleden
    Hello. I have used this addon for 6 years now apparently. Unfortunately the addon no long works on Firefox 118. The addon hasn't been updated since 2018 so that probably explains it.

    Are there any hopes of getting an update on this addon?

    Oddly I don't actually use this on desktop, but I found it largely works on Firefox Android too (with beta and a custom add-on collection).

    There it's a game changer because allowing tabs to build up in the background just relying on auto-close isn't the way I work.
    Without this that's pretty much what happens unless you manually clean up each time.

    Love this extension!
    It would be great if can prevent some webpage's deceptive behavior that inserts history and ruin Back to Close function.

    This extension is definitely useful, thanks for creating it!
    The only thing that bothers me is that it seems to work only on tabs that are spontaneously created by the page you are surfing on, but not on tabs you create yourself (either by the contextual menu or by Cmd-clicking on a link).
    If it was possible to enable this add-on in this case also, it would be awesome!

    Nice addon. One of my daily drivers.

    I have a small idea. Sometimes I close a Tab acidentially and have to use the hotkey to reopen the last closed tab. Could you make it so that when there is no forward history that I can reopen the last closed tab when pressing forward button?

    OH YES! Yes yes yeeeeeeees. I was desperatly looking for this for some time now. Oh my god Jas, you're my hero my saviour. YES. This is such an improvement to my quality of life. Since I found out Safari had this it was bugging me everytime I had to conciously close another tab. This is such a lifesaver. Makes my daily life much more enjoyable. Less overhead means more brainpower for more important tasks. Many thanks!

    Does not work on Google main search page.
  • door John Whitley, 5 jaar geleden
    This extension brings a great feature to Firefox that's been in mobile Safari for some time now: the ability to use the "Back" button (or shortcut key) to close the current tab and return to the tab it was originally opened from. This works for "newly opened tabs" like the description says, and also when at the beginning of a tab's history. Like browser tabs themselves, once you've used this feature, it's hard to go back to a time without it.
