New tabs open to right of current page, not far right?

I liked using the new tab button, which disappeared from the latest version, I had to go back to 38 to find it and put it back on my toolbar. However, I have not been able to fix the manner in which the new tab opens, next to the page I am on. Previously, if I clicked the new tab button, a new tab would open to the far right of all tabs. I already tried to fix it by going to about:config, changing the browser.tabs.insertrelatedaftercurrent to "false" from "true" as that was the fix in 2013. Alas, it does not work now, and I want to be able to change it back. Also, is the new tab icon/button gone for good in the new versions?

If your new tab button opens a tab in the middle of your tabs, it could be a feature of a tab-related extension. Some of them, such as Tab Mix Plus and Tab Utilities have so many settings that it can be a challenge to sort through all of them. You can check your extensions, and check whether they have an Options button to tweak their settings, on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then review the list on the right side.

browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent only work if you open a link in a new tab and not when you open a new tab via Ctrl+T or via the plus icon. You would need to install an extension that supports the feature to open a new tab next to the current tab.

If the plus icon in missing then click Restore Defaults in the Customize palette. If that doesn't work then try to reset the browser.uiCustomization.state on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
