I should clarify my previous post a tiny bit. I use the middle button on
links to get a tab next to the one I'm currently using, ctrl-t gives a
new tab at the end of the "tab bar".

Title:
  New tabs open to the right of all existing tabs instead of opening
  next to the current tab

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  As the summary says: when a user opens a new, empty tab, it opens next
  to the rightmost of tabs currently open in the browser. This is
  inconsistent with the way links in new tabs are opened, which is to
  have them next to the currently active tab.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open multiple tabs in the browser.
  2. Select the leftmost tab.
  3. Press Ctrl + T.

  Expected result:
  Have a new, empty tab next to the leftmost tab.

  Actual result:
  The new, empty tab opens next to the rightmost tab.
