Back IS Close replaces the "Back" button with a "Close" button when the "Back" button is disabled because there is no page to go "back" to. The Close button will close the tab or browser, as appropriate.
Back IS Close is the perfect complement to tabbed browsing: it closes the many tabs tabbed browsing opens. Back IS Close works most effectively when you map a mouse button (I use the right mouse button) to send "Alt-Left Arrow".
Then one mouse button will either take you back to the previous page, or close the tab if no previous page exists, making for quick, convenient browsing.
Requirements:
· Firefox 3.0 to 3.7a6pre
What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Back IS Close has been completely re-written for Firefox 3.x. While it does the same thing it always did, it now does it more cleanly, and more quickly, thanks to improvements both in Firefox and in Back IS Close.
· If you have Back IS Close version 1.4 or earlier installed, you MUST manually uninstall it before installing Back IS Close 2.0. If you`re using Firefox 2.0, Back IS Close 2.0 won`t work for you; keep using Back IS Close 1.4.
