hi, is there a way or setting hidden for Firefox to make new tabs NOT open next to active one but always at the end of "row" (next to very last one) ?

Chosen solution

This is possible. You will just need to do the following:

  1. Enter about:config in the Firefox address bar
  2. Bypass any security warning
  3. Locate the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent boolean
  4. Change the value to false by double-clicking the value

This should add any new tabs to the end of the tab bar.

Note: You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
