Please add MileWideBack functionality as inbuilt or as extension.
It is the first extension I install no matter Firefox or Chrome.
e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox...ewideback/
The idea is simple: There is a 1px wide x 100% tall bar on the left edge of window. Because it is 1px wide, it is nearly invisible, but yank your mouse pointer to the edge of the screen and you can't miss it. The mouse icon changes when mouseover it.
MileWideBack maps 5 actions to that bar:
- Left click the bar = navigate back
- Right click the bar = navigate forward
- Middle click the bar = close current tab
- Scroll wheel up over the bar = open left adjacent tab
- Scroll wheel down over the bar = open right adjacent tab
There is a short timer like 300ms when if you use the scroll wheel over the bar, then within the next 300ms you can't left/right/middle click. This is to prevent accidentally activating the scroll wheel when you wanted to click and therefore accidentally navigated/closed an adjacent tab.
