Features & Capabilities

Fast and lightweight extension which allows to quickly switch to last accessed tab on toolbar icon click, keyboard shortcut or when closed active tab.

There are many extensions that do the same, but they use complex code, storing their own history of tabs. There's no need to reinvent the wheel, when your browser already does that. This extension uses minimal code and only native functions to achieve the same result.

Features

No complicated code for tab tracking, just pure and straightforward sorting on each call
Works right after browser restart
Adds a toolbar button which switches to last tab on click
Provides a keyboard hotkey (default: Alt+Q, change on about:addons hotkeys page)
Slightly changes icon on each click to easier distinguish between tabs
Option to show a small badge when switched to previous tab, which will be removed once you switch to another tab
Option to focus last active tab when current tab closed

The project is open-source, you can view the code on GitHub.

Is Switch to Last Tab 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.

Switch to Last Tab does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Switch to Last Tab is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
