121477 - [RFE]Option for moving focus to the next tab (not previous) when closing the current one

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 131037

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[David Majda]

From Bugzilla Helper:

When closing a tab, focus moves to the previous one. It is very irritating,
because I usually open lot of tabs and go through them sequentially (form the
first to the last).

I'd like to have a pref that could change this behaviour, so when I close the
tab, the next one is selected. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open more tabs (say A, B, C)
2. Select tab B
3. Close it

Actual Results:  Tab A is selected

Expected Results:  If suggested pref is enabled, then select tab C

I suggest you just change the behavior to move from left to right.

Comment 4

[Martin Häcker]

Yes do it! It has far more sense as a ui!
