This reply is for review of dpi0 (addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/most-recent-tab/reviews/2077913/). The Most Recent Tab still works fine. As for not remembering the shortcut customization: (1) There are 2 places to set up the shortcut for the Most Recent Tab: [A] Extensions > Manage Extension Shortcuts > Most Recent Tabs > Main: and [B] Extensions > Most Recent Tabs > Options > Keyboard shortcut: (2) After setting up the shortcut in [A], the shortcut will be saved automatically, only at [A] will not overwrite at [B]. On the contrary: after setting up the shortcut in [B], we need to press Save to save; and then, this shortcut is also overwritten in [A]. (3) And I think: the shortcut from [B] will always overwrite in [A], maybe right before Firefox exits or right after Firefox starts. (4) In short, you need to set up the shortcut in place [B], then press the Save button.
