But this isn't true at all. Firefox doesn't maintain a tab stack. If you
close the rightmost tab, you are always moved to the tab immediately to the
left of it. If you close the leftmost tab, you are moved to the tab to the
right of it. If you close a tab in the middle, you are also moved to the
next tab to the right. This has been true with Firefox as long as I can
remember Firefox supporting tabs at all.

I find the new "tab stack" ordering very confusing/nonintuitive/nonstandard.
Am I missing something? If you want to close all tabs quickly, you first
have to run through them so the stack is set up in the right order, and then
you can keep hitting close until they're all closed. This doesn't make sense.
