There are are at least 4 Bugs on this, videlicit:

Firefox: Return to last tab viewed, return to last tab opened
MAS: Return to last tab viewed, return to last tab opened

There is an extension that might help you.

Personally, I am happy for Tabs to be unordered, and opened in Left <=> Right
fashion; but it would be nice to be able to detach a tab to form a new window
(Camino can do this)
