- Rated 5 out of 5by linlu, 4 years agoThis 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!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13461668, 4 years agoI 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5813178, 4 years agoTL;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! - Rated 2 out of 5by oggerbolt, 4 years agoUnreliable, 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Wobbly, 4 years agoBrilliant 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? - Rated 5 out of 5by Kodijack!, 4 years agoSimplistic and perfect. Exactly what is missing since day one in FF...

- Rated 4 out of 5by 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!Developer response

Please update the extension, set Operating mode to v4 and see if it improves. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12193918, 4 years agoEdit: 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.

Edit: Are you using the UnloadTabs extension? A conflict was found with its "prevent Firefox from loading unloaded Tabs" option. - Rated 5 out of 5by Alex, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mesqalito, 5 years agoThis is exactly what I was looking for. Although it has a lot of options - the crucial is "Last accessed tab" on close. And it comes preselected by default - no need to tune up anything. Neat!
P.S. Works well with Tree Style Tab. - Rated 5 out of 5by brass, 5 years ago这是一个看似简单不起眼但实际上必不可少的的扩展之一!配合鼠标手势,加上自身合理的符合自己习惯的设定可以很大程度上减轻操作疲劳,增加效率浏览体验,虽然很多人不会理解因为它的作用并不那么直观但事实上它就是如此优秀

- Rated 5 out of 5by Donald5FA, 5 years agoAn excellent add-on, works very well, believe it or not, this add-on just do what IE 11 browser's tab can do which I used a lot. With this add-on Firefox works more convenient.
