Tab Origin: Return to the page that opened a tab
Tab Origin is a Firefox add-on that keeps track of the URL that originated each tab, allowing you to quickly go back to its source page. It solves the problem of losing the parent tab and provides a configurable shortcut or right-click option to return to the original page.

Great addon. Great when you get sucked into something and find yourself 5 or 6 tabs and want to quickly get back to the original table, you just ctrl-shif-u 5 or 6 times.
Th only thing I wish it had was the ability to close the tab when you switch away. In the scenario I just gave, I then have to go and middle click over them all to close them, but if there was a shortcut to switch back and close at the same time, it would be great.
