Place of newly opened tabs is not logical (not put to the end of row)

When I have more tabs opened (for example 5) and I click a link with the middle mouse-button NOT on the last tab (for example on the 2nd one) Firefox does not put the newly opened tab to the end of the row, it is inserted right after the clicked page (newly opened tab is inserted between 2 existing tabs). Previous Firefox versions did always put the newly opened tabs to the end. How could it be set in case of 3.6.10?

A couple of options. You can use the New Tabs at the End add-on. A second option is to change a hidden preference.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. In the filter box type Related
  4. Double-click on the preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to false
