Opening in new tab from a pinned tab

I use a lot pinned tabs for gmail and facebook, but there is something that is frustrating me about opening new tabs from those pinned one.

Let's say that I have more that 50 tab, if I try to open a new tab from a pinned tab, the new tab will be created at the top of the list, just near the pinned one. This is really frustrating since I don't want to go back on the top of the tab list.

Is there a way to make firefox open the new tabs at the end of the tab list ?

Thank you.

hello, you can try this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent. double-click it and change its value to false.
