How to change the settings of new tabs opening?

more options

In the new 3.6.3 version, when you open a new tab it opens not to the far right, as before, but to the left. I downgraded back to 3.6.2 to avoid it, but this version keep crashing. Is there any way to change this setting?

Enter about:config into the location bar, click through any warning, then into the Filter box paste:

browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

Double-click the line listing that preference to change the value to false
