Start switching tabs backwards

Hi. I would like to add a feature request not a problem to Firefox but I'm not sure if this is the place to do that.

I usually switch tabs using my the key command Ctrl + Tab and in Chrome I'm able to start the switch backwards using Ctrl + Shift + Tab. In Firefox the skipping backwards functionality is there but I need to start it but skipping forward once then start moving backwards.

What I want is to be able to start my tab switching backwards as well as forwards, like it works in Chrome.

I found the solution to this by disabling the feature "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order".

Using Crtl+Shift+Tab should be working to navigate backwards.

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
