You can enable this behavior with an hidden option in your
~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc file.

Look for: MiscCycleTabs=FALSE and change it to TRUE.

This behavior is indicated in the documentation of the terminal, that
you can find at:

/usr/share/doc/xfce4-terminal/html/C/advanced.html#hidden-options
