AFAIK, there are currently two ways to open a new tab with a typed URL using keyboard shortcuts:
"Ctrl-T" which is the equivalent of clicking the new tab icon, and "Alt-Enter" in the location bar.

The both are different but kind of duplicate ways to achieve the same
purpose. And regarding to my fervent need to open a new tab next to the
current, I propose to let "Alt-Enter" do this job. Moreover, it's
natural to regard a new tab opened by Alt-Enter as a related tab to the
current. Thus it's probably should be included in the realm of
"browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent".

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.
