Today when I close many tabs using control w firefox seems to randomly jump around when choosing which next tab to close

I wish to have firefox always close the adjacent tab to the tab I just closed

This should be the default behavior ... I do not see any setting for this ... is there an addon to do this ?

I am using the latest firefox on ubuntu

      • UPDATE*** below answer for setting `browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose` has no impact on this

You can check browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose on the about:config page.

I am using the latest firefox nightly on ubuntu 22.04

An older build of Nightly as 122.0 has been on Beta channel since Dec 18 and is currently at 122.0b3 build. Nightly has been 123.0a1 since. The Nightly channel builds gets patches and updates each day. If you want to be a Nightly tester then perhaps the Builds threads in https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23 will be of interest.
