The default behavior in Firefox 3.6 for new tabs which are opened by clicking on a link is for them to appear immediately to the right of the tab that opened it. While this can work for keeping your tabs somewhat organized, it can throw off tabs you want to always have in front. With a simple tweak, you can have Firefox open all new tabs at the end of your open tabs list:
- Open a new tab and enter “about:config” in the address.
- Click on the warning button to continue.
- In the filter, enter: “browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent” (no quotes).
- Double-click on the setting so the value becomes “false”.
- Close the “about:config” tab.
Now whenever you click on a link and it opens a new tab, the new tab will appear at the end and preserve your existing tab order.
