Summary

This addon is a migration of the Close Other Tabs Shortcuts for Firefox 57+. It allows to use shortcuts to close tabs.

The default shortcuts:

  • Close Other (Alt+W) - closes other tabs except the current one.
  • Close Left (Alt+Shift+F1) - closes all tabs to the left of the current one.
  • Close Right (Alt+Shift+F2) - closes all tabs to the right of the current one.

Starting from Firefox v66 these shortcuts can be changed in the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) selecting the Manage Extension Shortcuts menu in the page settings.
