I have this addon, but maybe I'm not using it right

Select After Closing Current

Most of the time, when closing a tab, I'm taken to the tab on the right. I want it to go to the left, unless the tab to the right is the last active tab.

I haven't used that add-on, but I noticed in its screenshot that you can set your preferred order. You should be able to access that on the Add-ons page (Ctrl+Shift+A)) by showing the Extensions panel, clicking the add-on's name, then clicking the little navigation tab for Options.

I have that extension. You have to set a key combination for each selection you want to make. I have one which selects the tab to the left when I close the tab.

So it can only be done by key combinations? I had it set up to open the last accessed tab to the left, but I didn't realize it only worked with a designated shortcut. That's disappointing.
