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?

fantastic

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!

This addon is what is stopping me from even trying other browsers.. I got the Back button set to my thumb mouse button, and I can't live without this feature..

I can open and close tabs fast and easy.. If I would have to move my mouse up and down to hit the damn X for every window, I'd get Carpal Tunnel Syndrom one day. lol.

There have been several addons ove the years. Firefox has gone out of their way to try to remove this feature for some reason..

But I thank the author for being the last on a long line of developers keeping the back to close feature alive.

Firefox is dead to me if they kill this addon also.

Does not work on Google main search page.

Does what is says on the box

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.

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?

Really handy addon. I've removed one star because there are some known minor issues but it's still an recommendation.
