Excellent add on but finding it hard to configure it to use the way I want.

Could anyone suggest please how I achieve the following?

If I have a tab open and from which if it spawns another focused tab (when using drag/drop links or drag text searching), then after closing it, it should focus the last tab (original parent tab). If I select tab manually, then after closing it, it should select the right adjacent tab.

Doesn't work correctly if you're using UnloadTabs. You can use another addon called "Unload Tab from Context Menu" and then it's fine.

Not sure what happened but with the latest stable Firefox (88.0.1 ), I had to switch the mode to v1 for the add-on to work. Mixed and v4 doesn't work.

It has a conflict with extension UnloadTabs, which needs to be disabled if installed. Afterwards, this extension works according to settings.

很不错

This extension does exactly what I needed it to do. Switch to the tab I was on before I opened a link in a new tab from that previous tab. Up until now, having Firefox simply go to the tab on the right was aggravating. Firefox should by design or at least configuration, go back to the previous tab. Thank you jingyu9575 for developing this extension!

cnm, 真jb好用

I finally find my favorite tab extension. It's hard to find. I feel this extension week point is it's name. It doesn't have the word "tab". I hardly find this extension word search by "tab open", "tab order", "tab control" etc.

TL;DR: Hell yeah, thank you so much for this addon!

Several years ago I had an addon which also reopened the last opened tab, when closing, but at some point it wasn't compatible anymore. Think it was the google toolbar. You get so addicted by such a minor functionality, but only if you experience it. Like the red pill of the matrix. Often tried to write it myself, but some weird behaviour robbed my motivation, dunno. Thanks!

Unreliable, sometimes the desired tab is briefly selected then the selection jumps elsewhere.


Could be a timeout issue: On a FF that is slowed down by too many open tabs (or on a slow machine), this Add-On too quickly gives up waiting to get the desired tab.

If that is the case, please, either …
… add a preference to let the user set the timeout (clumsy, because on a less loaded FF one would wait unnecessarily long); or …
… measure the FF load somehow and auto-adjust the timeout duration.


Also, the "Click outside the text fields to save." information should be highlighted and on the top of the settings page – it is too easy to overlook, but it its vital for the functioning of setting settings.

Brilliant add-on.

Would it be possible to add some wildcard functionality to the Exclusion handling? To handle URLs that have variable elements, like sessionIDs etc.?

Another suggestion - is it possible to add a Skip pinned tabs option?

Simplistic and perfect. Exactly what is missing since day one in FF...

Wonderful! Thank you!

firefox上完美。可以为chrome也写一个吗，chrome上实现这种功能的都不够完美。

I find the default Firefox behavior really annoying and this extension fixes it for me. I used to get this functionality as part of the Tab Mix Plus extension but unfortunately it doesn't work with newer versions of Firefox.

There seems to be a conflict with another extension that deals with tabs, the Unload Tabs extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unload-tabs/). With that extension enabled, this extension only works sporadically. If this extension doesn't work for you I would try disabling any other extensions that deal with tabs and see if that fixes the problem.

Original review: Doesn't work reliably under Firefox 77. Often the configured tab is briefly selected, then Firefox switches to the tab to the right of the closed tab. But I love the idea!

Perfect addon! Thanks a lot!

Edit: a conflict with another extension caused unreliable behaviour. Once I disabled it, things are working as expected. Developer was very helpful in finding the root cause.

谢谢啦，太重要了，希望持续更新哈

Not working on FF75.
