Dear Maintainer, I have been using Firefox for years; an important part of the experience is having ctrl-tab go through tabs in the order of recent use, rather than cycling through them from left to right. This is not the default, but enabled by an about:config flag named 'browser.ctrlTab.sortByRecentlyUsed' Following the very welcome upgrade from 78 to 91, I found that the browser reverted this flag to its default, and I had to set it on again manually (after finding again what it was named...) Thanks for all your great efforts, Shai.
Filed upstream as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1746804 but at this point, this is probably unfixable... Note the pref is in Settings, under General > Tabs. Mike
Thanks. My apologies for thinking this was more likely to be a packaging bug than an upstream one; though, by the description, one needs to be more knowledgable than me to figure out what the problem was... Given the above, I won't object to the bug being closed and marked wontfix, if you find that more useful. Thanks, that helps! I have several Firefox profiles, some are still not fixed. Cheers, Shai.
