Hi,

I am using latest version of Firefox with few Tab Groups extension. I have following problem - I have several tabs open and grouped. When I close tab from group a I am moved immediately to latest opened tab in group b.

Looks like Firefox returns me to latest opened tab in order - can this behaviour be changed to stay on current group of tabs?

Best Regards Wojciech

I'm not sure how it interacts with the tab groups add-on, but I do know of one setting that you could try switching here:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste tabs and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose preference to switch it from true to false

Does that help?
