You can change a preference to make tabs open

  1. at the end of all open tabs
  2. immediately after the current tab.

See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

  • Type about:config in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
  • If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
  • Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
  • Look at the "Value" column (false=open at end, true=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
  • Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
  • Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)
