Oops, I clicked a random tab, now I can’t find my previous tab.
Surely there is a keyboard shortcut to go back where I was ?
Note : I have 2185 tabs open in 21 windows

I can’t use ctrl+tab, first because it will wake up every tab that I sequentially go through. And second, because that I will have to go through hundreds of tabs this way.
Actually, I tried and this is what it looks like this, so it seems ctrl+tab no longer cycles through tabs ?
I found my tab, the title didn’t help, it only had the name of the website, of which I have hundreds of tabs open, so I couldn’t find it. I ended up using “tab manager plus” and finding which tabs in the list weren’t discarded tabs. Still very tedious.
I notice this happens often. When ever I open a tab from the taskbar, then I can’t find my way back to the tab I was on, since they open at the very end on the tab list.
It’s weird, there doesn’t seem to be a “go to previous tab” keyboard binding !?
The person you’re replying to solved your problem. Read what they wrote and stop freaking out.
Ctrl+w will go to the previous tab
That closes the current tab
And goes back to the previous tab
Only if you have the addon Select After Closing Current Which I have, but I don’t want to close random tabs, because I’m trying to get back to my previous tab, not read the current tab and determined if I still need it.
Select After Closing Current is great for allowing pulling a tab out of a window, and have that window go back to its previous tab
But Select After Closing Current, is very annoying if you close tabs, you might want to close several tabs in a row , but if you do that, each tab you close causes it to jump around to the previous tab, instead of the right most tab. Really hope I can make at some point a version that can do one but not the other
No, it goes to the previous tab you had opened without any extensions. Your use case of “needing” 2k tabs is not reasonable. Close the tab to go back to the one you were just on.
