Reviews for Select After Closing Current
Select After Closing Current by jingyu9575
Review by David Hull
Rated 4 out of 5
by David Hull, 4 years agoI 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!

posted 4 years agoI've been investigating, but haven't reproduced this issue yet.
Please update the extension, set Operating mode to v4 and see if it improves.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Andre Bell, 8 months ago2024-04-01 works perfectly to open tab to the left after I made the drop down change in the options panel. Thank you
- Rated 5 out of 5by usernamethen, a year agoThis is such a useful adon for us that searches the internet all day! thanks so much, i think this should be done in the firefox config but here we are.
- Rated 4 out of 5by DimTim, a year agoNice extension, thanks! :) But I can't figure it out how to use "Position" and "Relation" options. For example, how should I set it up to: 1) when closing current, select parent tab; 2) if no parent tab exists, select left tab; 3) if the tab to close is leftmost, select right tab?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12356330, a year agoFabulous extension. I initially had trouble getting it to work until I removed a tab unloader extension which must have conflicted.

- Rated 5 out of 5by 鱼yhb, 2 years ago浏览时习惯先用后台标签页打开，后面再一个个看，这个扩展能自定义看完一个标签页并关闭后的处理逻辑，解决了一大痛点，五星好评！！！
另外，提个建议，参数配置能支持同步吗？或者至少支持导入、导出功能？ - Rated 5 out of 5by Bagelbat, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by kokobaby, 3 years ago谢谢朋友！你拯救了我的火狐。自从火狐变为量子版后，标签操作真是一言难尽！你这个插件简直牛爆了。希望以后能开发关于开启标签的相关扩展。比如《始终在后台开启新标签》《书签用后台新标签打开》《地址栏输入的网址由后台新标签打开》等等。谢谢朋友！

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14684176, 3 years agoExcellent 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. - Rated 4 out of 5by mr. sparkle, 4 years agoDoesn't work correctly if you're using UnloadTabs. You can use another addon called "Unload Tab from Context Menu" and then it's fine.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Ray., 4 years agoNot 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15690182, 4 years agoIt has a conflict with extension UnloadTabs, which needs to be disabled if installed. Afterwards, this extension works according to settings.
