Is there a way to get the new tab opened by ctrl+click to open to the right of the current tab, rather than the far right?

I'm using Firefox 6.0.2.

In previous versions there was an option to select where a new tab using ctrl+click would open. For instance, if I have 5 tabs open and am using the third tab and ctrl+click on a link, I would like that link to open in position 4, not position 6 (which is the default).

The default is to open the new tab next to the tab that is in use. The setting is:

  • browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent -set to true
