1531732 - Feature request: close open tabs from tab list via (right|middle) click

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 356980

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[HM]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have too many tabs (usually between 100 and 200 spread over a handful of windows) open at all times. If I choose a tab and middle click, it closes. If I go to the tab list (clicking the wedge pointing downwards) in the tab row and (middle|right) click on a tab, nothing happens. The tab list shows all tabs except the pinned ones, so it gives a much better overview than the tab row of what tabs can/ought to be closed.

Actual results:

Nothing.

Expected results:

Something should happen when right- or middle-clicking on one of the tabs in the tab list: the same menu as when I right click on a tab on right click, close the tab on middle click.
