Great addon!
Bug: when I try (using address bar) to select the tab that is already opened (by entering url or name of opened tab to the address bar), I'm switched to the last selected tab instead of switching to the tab that I've selected in the address bar.

steps:
1. open any site
2. in separate tab open another site
3. switch to the tab from step 2
4. create new tab and start typing (in address bar) url or name of the tab from step 1
5. select tab from step 1 in the list of suggestions (in address bar) and click on it or press enter

actual result: I'm switched to the tab from step 2
expected result: I should be switched to the tab from step 1 (as I've selected it in the address bar)

Choosing Last accessed tab and Skip hidden works great most of the time. It goes back to the previous active tab without reloading it. Seems like this should be the default Firefox behavior, but isn't for some reason. Skip hidden is needed with the Simple Tab Groups add-on to avoid switching tab groups unexpectedly.
Bug: In FF 65, select Left tab doesn't work if the browser has just been started. It always defaults to the right tab.

firefox 65，直接激活左侧标签，而不是先激活右侧标签再切换，类似插件中，目前唯一一个关闭标签不闪烁的。

Works as expected, but...: Configured to activate left tab. After closing tab it shows for a moment another tab before activating left tab. Very unpleasant and tires the eyes. If add-on is disabled then activating relevant tab after closing a tab works nice and without such glitches.

This add-on does exactly what I was looking for.

Kind of shame on Mozilla to have an add-on needed for that, it should be built in and configurable by the user.

The default behavior (activate right tab after closing current) is just nonsense and bothered me much.

I'm glad I've found this, thank you!

I have issue with this addon working together with Simple Tab Groups (by Drive4k).

Occasionaly, when switching between tab groups, last selected tab (I mean current active tab) "moves" to switched group and "stays" there as last tab.

I was unable to reproduce this reliably to find exact cirquimstances.

Disabling either of these two addons of course removes the issue.

Update: I have figured this issue out.

When I switch from group A to group B and then right away close active tab in this B group - I am switched back to A group. That works like it should be: last active tab becomes that one in A group.

But if I switch back to group B again - then any active tab from A "moves" to group B.

Disabling your addon resolves this issue.

This addon lets you correct one of Firefox's bigger usability problems: the unpredictability of which tab will be selected when you close a tab. It also does so with the minimum necessary permissions, which in an age of spying browser addons is something to appreciate.

Firefox keeps some internal info about which tabs are 'children' of 'parent' tabs, and depending whether you have clicked around in the tab bar or not, may choose to activate some 'peer' of the closing tab rather than one adjacent to the closing tab. But this information is not communicated to the user at all, the tab bar appears to be just a list of tabs! I'm fairly technically literate and I find this behaviour stunningly confusing, I can only imagine how frustrating this must be to less technical users. I'm not even sure that this description of how it works is 100% right, and I've spent some time looking into it!

In my opinion, Firefox's closing order for tabs without parent-child relationships (selecting the tab to the right) is also wrong. When you open a new tab, it is opened on the right. It only makes sense that closing a tab would select the tab to the left, taking you back toward where you began. The fault doesn't lie entirely with Firefox though, this is also Chrome's behaviour, and the Firefox team must feel much pressure to keep their interface consistent with the competition to make switching easy.

But I digress. These are small user interface issues, but minor details like this can have major impact on the user experience. Kudos to the author for making this extension.

The only flaw is that, when configured to select the tab to the left, there is a brief flash where the tab to the right is selected before switching to the tab to the left. I presume that this is due to a limitation of the current extension API, where the extension reacts to the tab closed event after the tab is gone and Firefox has already made its default next tab selection, and that nothing can be done to fix it. Unfortunate, but not a deal breaker!

Users who care about tab opening behaviour are also encouraged to check out an about:config option added in Firefox 60, which positions new tabs to the right of the opening tab (instead of to the right of the current peer tabs, or at the end of the tab strip entirely):

browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent = true

None of these add-ons works without activating the right tab when the active tab is closed. Also you can see the change from the right to the left tab at almost every close of the active tab.

Now this, is what I have been longing for!

非常好的插件！

有个问题就是，可以加入组合条件吗？

比如我只想跳到没有浏览过unread的子页面或者兄弟页面，不想转到其他非子页面或者兄弟页面的unread， 就是把现有的条件自定义组合一下，这个功能可以实现吗？
非常感谢

Elastic and powerful.
