Yes, it is possible to have Webflow go back to the last tab visited instead of redirecting to the first tab when the browser back button is clicked. Webflow provides a feature called "Page Transitions" that allows you to control how your pages transition when navigating between them.

To achieve this, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Webflow project and select the page that contains the tabs you want to modify.
  2. In the right-hand panel, go to the "Page Settings" tab.
  3. Scroll down to the "Page Transitions" section and click on "Enable transitions."
  4. Select the type of transition you want to use. For example, you can choose to fade, slide, or push the pages.
  5. In the "On load" dropdown, select the "Current page" option. This ensures that the page loads with the last visited tab active.
  6. Save your changes and publish your site.

With these settings in place, when a visitor clicks the browser back button, Webflow will remember the last visited tab and load the page with that tab active. This provides a seamless and consistent user experience.

Please note that this functionality may require custom coding if you are using Webflow's CMS or have more complex interactions. In such cases, you may need to work with Webflow's custom code feature or consult with a developer to achieve the desired behavior.
