Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any website
2. open any link in a new tab
3. bring the first tab to front
3. open another link in another tab
4. close the last tab

Actual Results:  brings second tab to front

Expected Results:  brings first tab to front

browser tabs should have a z-order, just like browser windows.
currently, closing a browser tab brings its left neighbor to front
(or its right neighbor if you close the tab at the very left).
what closing a browser tab should bring to front is of course the
tab that was visible before switching to the tab just closed.

the current behaviour is quite annoying when opening multiple links
from a "main" page in new tabs (like mozilla bug reports from a
mozilla bug list), and closing the last tab you have opened never
takes you back to the "main" page, but to the last tab still open.
