This add-on works perfectly - using its current left-click-right-click. On every website I've used it on, it's worked properly. That said: I had to disable this extension. There are too many times where I'll close a tab that I didn't want closed. Notably, I'll double-left-click text (to select it), then immediately right-click on that text (to get the context menu for options), and the tab will close. That's such a common click pattern with webpage text, I can't keep this otherwise excellent extension.

Previously I had given 5 stars, THEN it was not working anymore with the double-right-click action so it went down to one star and now it's working again cause the developer made a clever change with this Close tab by left-click-immediately-followed-by-right-click.
