266458 - Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab order should be ordered on a stack of most recently viewed, not a circular route around the order opened

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 178556

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Eric Medin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

Like tab ordering in Windows, I expect to be taken to the last tab I had
selected before navigating to current tab.  So if I have more than 2 tabs open,
if I want to Ctrl+Tab between the first two, I should only have to do that once.
 Similarly, Ctrl+Shift+Tab should work from the bottom of that stack.

This should also address the problem of displaying the next tab over to the
right when closing the current tab _instead of_ displaying the tab viewed
previously to the current one that is being closed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open atleast 3 tabs
2. Select the "rightmost" tab
3. Select the "leftmost" tab
4. Hit Ctrl+Tab or close the "leftmost" tab 

Actual Results:  
The next tab over to the right of the "leftmost" tab (in this case the second
tab on the toolbar) is displayed.

Expected Results:  
The "rightmost" tab should have been displayed.

It's an easy fix; implement a stack, and every time a tab is given focus, move
it to the top of the stack.
