The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Tabbed Browser' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
Agree with the commenter. The ordering of the options should put "Close Tabs to the Right" first in the submenu.
It should go first not only because it will preserve muscle memory, but also because it is the most commonly-desired option (as very clearly demonstrated by the fact that we had only this option in the past) and the first item of a submenu is the easiest to get to.
Actually, I might go so far as to suggest that the new option "Close Tabs to the Left" should go last, as it's likely to be the least-commonly-chosen option.

I use "Close tabs to the left" often, "Close other tabs" rarely and never "Close tabs to the right" (so it really depends on individual usage preferences).
Putting "Close other tabs" between the two options would be quite confusing IMHO.
Overall the thing hurting my muscle memory most is that these choices have been moved to a sub-menu. It makes my usual workflows significantly less efficient.
