- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12432924, 8 months agoHello. 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? - Rated 5 out of 5by Ibraim, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Wolfticket, a year agoOddly 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by K8, a year agoLove this extension!
It would be great if can prevent some webpage's deceptive behavior that inserts history and ruin Back to Close function. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13326079, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nenco, 3 years agoNice 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? - Rated 5 out of 5by Valstop, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by IqhaweBayani, 3 years agoOH 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!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kai A. Stensson, 4 years agoThis 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by John Whitley, 4 years agoThis 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jakob K. B., 6 years agoThank you so much for this.
It actually even starts working at some point before the site has completely finished loading.
I wish it was a built-in feature of Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by rectec, 6 years agoThis addon is very useful, can't live without it. Works quick and without a hitch. I know it's been said before but thanks again for developing a webextension version of back to close, I've been back to closing for years.
