1875676 - After closing a tab that was reopened using ctrl-shift-t, we don't put the right tab on foreground

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect, P3)

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

STR:

1. Have some tabs open.
2. Close one tab.
3. Select a tab that's not one of the adjacent tabs from the one that was just closed.
4. Press ctrl-shift-T => this reopens tab closed at step 2.
5. Press ctrl-w => this closes the tab that was just reopened at step 4, and selects an adjacent tab.

Instead it should select the tab that was selected at step 3. Why? Because that's the behavior when using ctrl-T to open a blank tab, where closing it will come back to the previously selected tab. Note: does this behavior depend on a pref?

I'm on Nightly but I think this behavior happens for some time now.
