Closing a tab next to an unloaded one jumps to previous tab
Hi,
If I have an unloaded tab on right of the current tab and I close the current one, instead of going to the right tab, which is the unloaded one, it jumps to another tab which I'm not sure has what relation to it, it certainly is not the tab that opened it.
I removed every modified entry of "Browser.tab" in About:Config, installed "Select After Closing Tab", no result.
Thanks

Hi, is the unloaded tab one that was restored from a previous session but not yet activated, or was it "unloaded" by an add-on? (I haven't noticed this issue with tabs restored from a previous session. In case it matters, I un-check "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" in Settings.)

Restored from a previous session. (Browser re-opened). That box is un-checked for me as well.
Maybe something in my config is broken during updates that is not evident by seeing only the changed settings in about:config.
Unless those tabs were somehow marked as hidden in a strange way, I can't explain why Firefox would skip them.
