[Bug 572074]

 

Hi,

More information about this topic that seem to be solved for me by a
plug-in named "Tab mix plus" at this web site. It's pretty cool. Way
beyond what I would have asked for. I had a little trouble understanding
the behavior of one of the options and their support staff was MOST
happy and ABLE to help me. I would give them a 10 out of 10.

Thanks,

George...

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.
