see item #36 Open new tabs on far right, restore pre Fx3.6 behavior, set browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false in about:config

You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic

More information on configuration variables available in about:config (entries) and for users not familiar with the process there is about:config (How to change) -- Specialized list of only Tabs configuration variables.
