switch between tabs by clicking

I used to have the Tab Mix Plus extension which no longer works in Firefox.

The one feature I really miss from this extension is the ability to alternate between 2 tabs by clicking on one of them. I know that there are various extensions that allow you to switch tabs using shortcut keys and I do use the Switch to Previous Active Tab extension which is useful but I do miss the simplicity of being able to just click on a tab to switch to the previous and even after several years without it I still often try to do it, forgetting that it no longer works.

Is there any extension or setting that can reinstate this feature?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that hasn't been updated for 2 years so I don't hold out much hope.

There is still activity on the GitHub page.
