Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 279574

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

When you have 3 opened tabs and you are surfing with the one in the middle (tab 2) and that tab opens a new tab (tab 4), the focus does not go back to the middle tab  (tab 2) when I close the  tab (tab 4) that is opened by it. It does focus on the most right tab (tab 3)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 3 tabs
2. Surf active in the 2nd tab
3. Go to a site and click on a link that opens in a new tab
4. Close that new tab
5. The focus does not go back to the 2nd tab but to the 3rd.
Actual Results:  
The focus was not on tab 2 but on tab 3.

Expected Results:  
Focus on the tab that opens the other tab. In my example the 2nd tab.
