When I have multiple tabs open and I close one, the tab to the right auto opens; is there a way to set Firefox to open the tab to the left instead?

Is there any way to set Firefox to open the tab immediately to the left of a tab you close a tab instead of opening the tab immediately to the right of the closed tab?

You can have Firefox, when a tab is closed, return to the tab that opened it. browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose = true

Type about:config<Enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run. At the top of the screen is a search bar.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Note: Edge on Win10 does not use ActiveX version but its own Flash.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.
