My biggest gripe with Firefox is how it opens tabs. If I open a new tab in Chrome, it opens just to the right of the current one which is nice because it keeps related tabs together. In Firefox it opens to the far right which is annoying. I tried installing an extension to fix this but it was buggy. Only recently did I discover that I could dig into about:config to enable the behavior I consider expected (and I'm sure most people agree with me given how many Chrome users there are).

- 40four 7y agoI already updated to v.72 so I don't know if they changed the default, never really noticed before. But now browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent defaults to 'true'. I agree this is expected behavior :)
- alimbada 7y agoFF71 - default is also true. Edit - default for this config variable could be platform specific; the above is based on Windows 10. I'll check on my MacBook tonight.
- 40four 7y agoTrue, I am on Windows 10 as well. If anyone needs to change it though, that is the related setting to check in about:config.
- jeltz 7y agoDamn, another option I need to change when I upgrade Firefox. :( I liked the old default. I think I will have to start writing a user.js.
- megous 7y agoThat only applies when you open a tab by clicking on a link. If you do ctrl+t, you'll get new tab at the far right.
- the_duke 7y agoThat is toggled by "browser.tabs.insertAfterContent" ( vs insertRelatedAfterContent).
- lorenzhs 7y agoYou have a typo there, it's browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent and browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent (Current, not Content), just in case someone tries to copy and paste those into about:config

- nabergh 7y agoThis is correct and it also applies when middle clicking a link. That's where it really matters for me.
