Open Firefox in previous active tab?
I may have asked this before, When I launch Firefox, it opens the tab to the right of the active tab in the previous session. When I close a tab, it opens the tab to the right.
Am I wrong, or is that precisely the opposite of what you would expect or want?
Can someone please explain the logic of this? Is there anything that can be done about it?
I have this addon Select After Closing Current. Can I get some advice to set it up to work?
Also, why are there two product pages for it? link text

I don't usually get a new tab when I restore the previous session -- unless Firefox just updated, which actually is pretty often. But you are getting a new tab in the middle of the tabs instead of at the end?
I'm not sure what is causing that. Was the last active tab a pinned tab (Pinned Tabs - keep favorite websites open and just a click away)?
Note: your second URL has a typo, extra period after .org which messes up the page.

When Firefox is open, and I restart/relaunch, instead of opening to the same tab, the current open tab in use, Firefox opens to the tab to the "right" of the tab that was active/being used before the relaunch.
Furthermore, if I closed the current active tab in use, Firefox will open/select the tab to the right, even if it is not an active tab. Since session tabs are conventionally opened from left to right, I would expect the browser to select the tab to the left, particularly if it is an active tab.
Perhaps you could explain that purpose of designing things that way. I don't understand the logic.
I believe the "Select After Closing Current" addon is meant to correct all this, but setting it up is a bit confusing, so maybe I'm not doing it right.

noel_envode, perhaps the current tab closing logic is based on the number of required operations?
If you have 8 tabs open and close tab#4, then currently the following happens: The former tabs 5 to 8 get shifted one place to the left.
There is however no change in tab focus. You were on tab#4 and still are.
Displaying the tab to the left of the closed tab would involve this same operation, but with the additional step of shifting browser focus to tab#3 after the closure.
So maybe that is why? That said, if people think it makes more sense to move browser focus to tab#3 after closing tab#4, then of course there is nothing wrong with giving them that option.
