[Bug] "Open Link in New Background Tab" - Tabs do not honor "next active tab after Close Tab"

[BlueMax]

I'm using Other Gestures/Chord Gesture/Right+Left/Open Link in New Background Tab. I have also set More Preferences/Next active tab after Close Tab/Activate the right Tab.

When i create several tabs with the gesture above and close the tabs the focus always jumps back to initial tab (where the other tabs got created). When i use the built-in firefox context option (open link in new background tab) and close the tabs the right side tab gets focused properly.

Firefox 61.0.2 Arch Linux

I'm on Windows, but I can't reproduce this. I am opening tabs in the background using the gesture as you described, and then closing them in random orders. It always activates the tab on the right side. Perhaps you have a conflict with another extension?

I've checked it again with a new Fx profile and behavior is different indeed (but not correct either). Now it goes like this:

1. Open 4 new tabs with gesture (= 5 Tabs)
2. Go to tab 3
3. Close Tab = Jumps to right (=correct)
4. Close Tab (again) = Jumps to first tab (=wrong) In other words, it works for one tab-close only (Tab3, Tab4, Tab1).

With Fx built-in open link in new background tab function it properly goes Tab3, Tab4, Tab5, Tab2, Tab1.
