Click on add-ons button opens add-ons manager in tab (about:addons) after last open tab. Is it possible to open that tab next to current one, same as "Open Link In New Tab" and "New Tab (After This Tab)" (Tab Mix Plus installed) ?

For me the about: addons tab will open after the last open tab. It is also true that I open the add-on manager always from the Firefox default home page.

You would have to check the settings in TMP to see how tabs are opened.

Firefox normally uses the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent pref (about:config) to determine where to open a tab, but TMP probably overrides this pref.

I try it on another computer with no TMP installed. It is the same. I forgot to mention: I'm not quite sure, but I think that behavior started with FF version 29.
