Thanks for filing this bug and writing patches! The bug itself and the patches could really use some descriptions of failure cases and how you are fixing those. That makes reviewing changes much easier.

(In reply to Tim Taubert [:ttaubert] from comment #4) > tab.lastAccessed is already initialized with zero. Just adding a tab doesn't > mean it was accessed. Bug 445461 comment 11: Currently, the lastAccessed stamp is not set on a never accessed new background tab, which will have lastAccessed = 0 stored. This does not match how ctrlTab handles a new tab. Ctrl-Tab should be able to switch to the newly added tab immediately. See: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/browser-tabPreviews.js#482
I don't know much about Ctrl-Tab and its desired behavior. Dão, can you please take a look at the issue raised in comment #6?

We may set the time stamp on selected tab to Infinity. Return Date.now() for "selected" tab is wrong in preview mode. The "selected" state could be temporarily set by ctrlTab.
(In reply to ithinc from comment #8) > Return Date.now() for "selected" tab is wrong in preview mode. The > "selected" state could be temporarily set by ctrlTab. That could be fixed quite easily by doing something like: <getter> return this.selected && !this.parentNode.tabContainer.tabbrowser._previewMode ? Date.now() : this._lastAccessed; </getter>
By this way, you'll get wrong value for the truly selected tab. You even don't know which one is the truly selected tab in preview mode.
Setting lastAccessed to Infinity is in fact identifying the tab as the truly selected one. If you really desire a Date.now(), Infinity could be converted to Date.now() in the getter. In my opinion, Infinity could serve the same purpose as Date.now() here.
I find a 3rd issue. The tab.lastAccessed field will be re-initialized to 0 after a tab is moved.
Attached patch Patch v2 (deleted) — Splinter Review
The patch is to address 3 issues. 1/ tab.lastAccessed is re-initialized to 0 after one tab is moved 2/ tab.lastAccessed is not set for a new tab 3/ tab.lastAccessed may return wrong value in preview mode

Oh, and browser/base/content/test/general/browser_lastAccessedTab.js will need to be updated.
