I need last link I middle-clicked to open to the right of current tab. If I middle-click links 1,2,3 on page 0, I need tabs to be 0,3,2,1, instead FireFox places 3-rd link after the 2nd and 2nd after the 1st, resulting in 0,1,2,3. I tried changing browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent is "true". The only thing I found is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-tabs-next-to-current/, but it interferes with "Clipboard to Tabs" addon and occasionally seems to not work.

FireFox behavior is also wildly inconsistent. It depends on whether I switched to these tabs and interacted with them. Some interactions cause it to forget they were "related".

That's not how it works it doesn't go backwards. This is standard across all browsers. Anything beyond that is Addon or 3rd party software changes to support those options. The browser is developed for all standard users.
