Changing Firefox Tab Cycle Order

firefox browser-tabs

Solution 1:

  1. Type about:config in address bar, then press Enter.
  2. Type ctrl in the "filter" box.
  3. Double-click browser.ctrlTab.previews item so the value becomes true.

In Firefox 65, the setting is set to true by default, and its name has changed to browser.ctrlTab.recentlyUsedOrder.

Solution 2:

I would recommend Tab Mix Plus. It allows you to completely customize the way the tab menus function. Quite a bit of configurable behavior.

Solution 3:

Firefox v50 now has this as an option in Settings, no add-ons or about:config hacking required:
