How do I stop the tab bar from scrolling to the left whenever I open a new tab? It's a constant distraction

If I have more than a single tab bar of tabs open whenever I open a new one the tab I'm currently on is shifted to the left of the bar 1 spot until it's the leftmost tab on the screen.

Is it possible to stop firefox from doing this as the movement of the tabs at the top of the screen is incredibly distracting?

What did you install into Firefox to give you multiple tab bars?

I don't have multiple tab bars and haven't installed anything to try and get them.

I re-read what I wrote earlier and realised it's not worded clearly when I said: If I have more than a single tab bar of tabs open

I meant: When I have so many tabs open that they won't all fit into the tab bar at once
