Public bug reported:

(follow-up to https://code.launchpad.net/~fboucault/webbrowser-
app/background_open_tabs_adjacent/+merge/316226)

In chromium on desktop, when opening a link in a new tab (for instance when Ctrl+clicking on a hyperlink), the new tab is open next to the parent tab. When closing that child tab, the parent tab is the one that becomes current.
In webbrowser-app, when closing the child tab, the next one in the list becomes current. It would be nice if webbrowser-app implemented the same behaviour as chromium.

Steps to reproduce:
 1) Start webbrowser-app, and open two tabs, e.g. http://example.org and http://start.ubuntu.com
 2) Focus the first tab (example.org) and right click on the "More information…" link (this opens a new tab in second position and focuses it
 3) Press Ctrl+W to close the current tab

Expected result: the first tab (example.org) is the one that gets
focused.

Actual result: the second tab (start.ubuntu.com) is the one that gets
focused.
