[Bug 1499780] [NEW] Open new tabs next to the tab that launched them

 

Public bug reported:

When clicking on a target="_blank" link or Ctrl-clicking on a link, a
new tab opens.  But it always opens at the end of the list of current
tabs.

Ideally it would open next to the tab that launched it.  Other browsers
do this, and it helps to keep related content near each other.  And
makes it faster to switch to the new tab if you want to (one press of
Ctrl+Tab instead of many).

** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
