User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20171112125346 Steps to reproduce: If I have several tabs open, and I close one of them, I expect the tab that I'd been viewing just prior to the closed tab (the most recently viewed tab) to reopen. Hopefully this example will make it clearer: 1. open a new Firefox window 2. go to 'www.bbc.co.uk' 3. at the top of the page is a menu, ctrl+click on 'News'. This opens 'www.bbc.co.uk/news' in a new tab 4. ctrl+tab to go back to 'www.bbc.co.uk' 5. ctrl+click on 'Sport'. This opens 'www.bbc.co.uk/sport' in a new tab Now have 3 tabs open, in order of most recently viewed to oldest viewed, they are: www.bbc.co.uk/sport www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk/news 6. ctrl+W to close 'www.bbc.co.uk/sport' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Environment ----------- Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 Firefox 57.0 (64-bit) No Add-ons or Extensions 3 Plugins: OpenH264 Video Codec, Widevine Content Decryption Module, Shockwave Flash 4 Legacy Extensions, all deactivated 'Tabs' options: yes Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order yes Open new windows in a new tab instead yes When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately no Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar Actual results: The 'www.bbc.co.uk/news' tab opens (the oldest viewed tab) Expected results: The 'www.bbc.co.uk' tab should open as it is now the most recently viewed tab.

This might be a better summary: ctrl+W (after closing the current tab) does not switch to the most recently used tab. FYI I get the expected behaviour by following the ctrl+W with ctrl+tab

This was not a problem until Firefox 118, but now this problem occurs in Firefox 119.0.
The replacement of gBrowser.selectedTab
was done in the capturing phase of the select
event fired when a tab is selected in Firefox 118, but in Firefox 119.0 it was done in the bubbling phase, so there may be a connection.
I attach the video recorded by reproducing the problem.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a new tab on the far right and open https://a.test/.
- Open a new tab on the far right and open https://b.test/.
- Open a new tab on the far right and open https://c.test/.
- Select the tab
https://a.test/
, the first tab from the left. - Select the tab
https://c.test/
, the third tab from the left. - Close the current tab
https://c.test/
, the third tab from the left.
Expected result
The tab https://a.test/
, first tab from the left, becomes the current tab.
Actual result
The tab https://c.test/
, second tab from the left, becomes the current tab.
