When I click on a link that opens a new tab, I want that tab to be to the far right of all other tabs instead of just to the right of the current one.

Hi, you can change this using the following steps:

  1. In the address bar, type about:config and press the Enter key.
  2. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
    Click I accept the risk! to continue to the about:config page.
  3. In the search box at the top, type "browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent".
  4. Double-click on the first item that appears in the list to change the value to false.

Hope that helps!

I just did this and it works. Thank you so much! You're a lifesaver.

I just did this, and it works in some cases, and in others it does not.

When I open a new tab through Ctrl+T, the above mentioned setting gets ignored, and the tab still opens in the end of the list, which is completely undesirable behaviour, how to fix this?

My question and the answer shared by user1929 concerned opening new tabs from links embedded in webpages (not using Ctrl+T).

I recommend that you create a new question about how to get the desired affect when using Ctrl+T. I think that's a separate issue than the one I asked about.
