I could be crazy, but I think this behavior has recently changed in Firefox. I often open links in Facebook (or Reddit, or Twitter, etc), which opens a new tab to the right of the (origin website's) tab. When I am finished reading the link, I will use CTRL+W to close that tab, and it used to switch back to the previous tab from which I clicked the link. In other words, if I open a link in a new tab, when I closed that new tab it switches back to the tab where I clicked the link from (assuming I navigate to no other tabs or websites).

However, the behavior now is different in where Firefox will switch to the /next/ tab on the right, instead of back one to the left. This adds extra steps to navigating websites which have a lot of external links, such as any social media platform, because I have to manually switch back to the website's (Facebook) tab after closing the new tab.

I found this step-by-step process of being able to switch the key bindings for Firefox: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-customize-firefox-keyboard-shortcuts/#:~:text=Step%201%3A%20Install%20the%20Firefox,orange%20Firefox%20button%2C%20then%20Options.&text=Step%203%3A%20Click%20on%20the%20last%20tab%20called%20Shortcuts.&text=Step%204%3A%20Double%2Dclick%20on,combination%20you%20prefer%20to%20use.

I also found this list of the shortcuts that are automatically on Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Keyboard_shortcuts

Hopefully this helps!
