    UPDATE:
    Again, it does NOT work on every website. It closes a tab just by clicking right click only. Very annoying !!!

    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.

    Would be cool, if the context menu would not open at all in the case of double right click!

    Why does it open?

    The tab closes though, which is good!

    fails most of the time. Also opens context menu all the time..


    make it normal double click but will only work when you point to the tab you want to close instead of clicking on the X before you close tab.

    Much needed actually, if it possible to auto-close right-click menu (ESC command at the end?) . But this one still better then "Rights To Close" which simply blocked whole context menu.

    UPD what linux? We're on Windows FF channel

    Thanks for the feedback. Are using Firefox on Linux ?
    I have added a fix for Firefox on Linux, can you update to the latest version and test again?

    Edit:
    I'm done with the analysis and it is a bug for Firefox-on-Windows with apparently no workarounds :-/
    I'll file a bug report to Firefox.
    Till then, I don't see any other alternative approach while sticking to double-right-click-on-page gesture for closing tab.
