I updated LastTab lately and now it doesn't work anymore. It doesn't even show the "tab list window" if I enable it. Any idea why?
By the way, thanks for this useful extension! I don't understand why switching to the last used tab is not the default behavior for a browser like Firefox!

- LastTab 2.2
- I use another tab related addon: TabGroups Manage
Got it!
Tab Groups Manager / Preferences / Keyboard / ctrl + tab => "Not controlled by TabGroups Manager"
Fixed the problem and LastTab works again! :-)Sorry for this long thread! I hope it'll help someone.electrotype
Update:
I tried Tab Mix Plus, which is supposed to be able to enable that "go to last tab used" behavior too, but it doesn't work either.
I even installed Keyconfig and assigned CTRL-TAB to "gBrowser.previousTab(gBrowser.mCurrentTab);" (see here) and even that doesn't work!
It seems like something with a really high priority is catching the CTRL-TAB keys and set them back to the default Firefox behavior...
Any ideas?
I did find a solution, for those like me struggling with this problem.
By the way LastTab is WAY easier to get that "go to last tab" feature, if it works for you. If it doesn't, here's a more complexe way to get that behavior:
- Install KeyConfig in Firefox (Direct download link)- Add a new Key in KeyConfig, assign it to some weird keys combinaison. In my example, I use CTRL-ALT-F8.- Set this as the code for this newly created key:
----------gBrowser.previousTab(gBrowser.mCurrentTab);---------
- Install AutoHotKey. Create a .ahk text file with this content :----------#IfWinActive ahk_class MozillaUIWindowClass^Tab::^!F8---------- Create a shortcut to this file in your system startup folder, so it is executed everytime your system starts.
Done!
Now when you hit CTRL-TAB in Firefox, CTRL-ALT-F8 is send instead and KeyConfig calls the required code to switch to the last used tab!
The only problem is that it won't go through ALL tabs if you keep CTRL pressed. It will always switch between the last two tabs used.
By the way, I have another computer with pretty much the same setup as my main computer, and the "last tab" feature was still working. I updated ONLY the TabGroups Manage extension on it and the last tab feature didn't work anymore! So TabGroups Manage really is the problem here...This is confirmed by disabling the extension: last tab works again.
Sadly I can't live without TabGroups Manage... I'll try to see if there is a config that could help.
