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 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.
