When I have many tabs open, & I am viewing the 1st one in the row of tabs, how can I make ctrl+T open tab next to it instead of down at the end of all the tabs?

If, for example, I have 50 tabs open, and I happen to be working on the very first tab out of the long row of tabs (tab #1 out of 50 total tabs)....if I suddenly need a new tab next to the one I'm on so that I can do something else related to what I am doing on my current tab's website, pushing ctrl+t opens up the new tab clear down at the very end of the long row of tabs (i.e., the new tab would be tab #51). How can I make the new tab open up right beside the one I'm working on at the moment?

You would need an extension to achieve this

You can look at this extension:

Something like that seems that it would solve my issue, but it currently is not available for Firefox 25.0....  :-( Thanks for alerting me to this type of potential solution, though, and I will keep looking for any future update to this extension (as well as a few other very similar extensions which are also not available for Firefox 25.0).

Tab Utilities is an abandoned extension. Never updated beyond Firefox 19.0, last update was in Dec 2012.

Another developer "took-over" that project - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&p=13039631#p13039631 - in August.
