Steps to reproduce:
Say you have 3 tabs open, you are currently on the 2nd tab.
Now you open a link on that page in a new tab and change (from the 2nd) to that new 4th tab. After checking it out, you close that 4th tab.
Actual results:
You find yourself on the 3rd tab. But what you really want to do is to continue where you left off - which would be the 2nd tab!
Expected results:
So in short when closing a tab, Firefox should take you to the previous active tab instead of the parent/left tab.
This would an optional pref in about:config
Reason for this request is the fact that currently there are no add-ons that offer this behavior.
The best i could find put a button in the toolbar that when clicked allowed me to switch between current active and last active tabs but behavior when closing current active was unchanged.

I will set this enhancement as new so the engineering team could decide if they take in consideration changing this.
