Features & Capabilities

Select After Closing Current is a Firefox extension that customizes which tab is selected after you close the current one. By default, Firefox focuses on the tab to the right, but this addon lets you prioritize options like last accessed tab, parent tab, unread tabs, or siblings. Especially useful with Firefox 57+ and compatible with various tab grouping extensions, it improves navigation and browsing workflow.

Users can reorder preferences in the extension's settings to fine-tune this behavior. Updates have fixed previous issues like flashing tabs and compatibility problems. Enhance your tab management with this flexible and user-friendly tool that adapts to your browsing habits.

User Reviews

Reviewers broadly praise the add-on for restoring expected Firefox behavior, improving tab management after closing the current tab, and offering reliable, daily-use performance. The ability to tailor which tab opens next (left/right/parent/last) through Position/Relation and Preferences is a recurring strength, though a few note a learning curve when configuring options and occasional conflicts with other extensions. Overall, it is seen as a valuable, well-functioning tool for power users seeking efficient tab control.

Pros

Restores a Firefox behavior by default and adds the needed feature, addressing a long-standing gap.
Flexible after-close tab selection: automatically focuses the next tab (left/right/parent/last) with configurable Position/Relation options.
Reliable and useful for daily use; reviewers report no problems and that it "does what it says."
Offers customization via Preferences and Position/Relation to fit different workflows, appealing to power users who manage tabs extensively.

Is Select After Closing Current Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Select After Closing Current requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
