Review summary

Users appreciate the add-on for its high customizability and some features like opening tabs on the right working well. However, many report that the main feature of opening new tabs as the first tab to the left does not function correctly, with tabs instead opening at the end. Additionally, the tab switching behavior after closing tabs does not work as intended, often reverting to the last active tab rather than the left one. Compatibility issues with different Firefox versions and gesture support were also noted.

Pros

Highly customizable compared to alternatives.
Functions like opening new tabs on the right side generally work well.
Other features work correctly under cursory testing for some users.
Fulfills a needed customization gap for tab management in Firefox.
Useful for controlling tab behavior when opening or closing tabs.

Cons

Opening new tabs as the first tab (on the left) does not work as expected; tabs open at the end instead.
Closing tabs and having the active tab switch to the left does not work; Firefox reverts to last active tab instead.
Issues with the add-on not working on certain Firefox versions (e.g., 95.0.2).
Inconsistent behavior across Firefox versions regarding tab switching on close.
Gestures to close tabs not being supported or functioning properly.
