A feature or quirk has been removed from Firefox. In the previous version when you center clicked to open a new webpage in a new tab it opened in an adjacent tab. Now when you center click the new tab is created at the right hand end of however many tabs you have open. An option/setting needs to be added so that the location of the new tab can be selected "an adjacent tab" or "the last tab"

Call it a brain fart. I got my home computer mixed up with my work computer. I must be getting old. I have to use Internet Explorer at work and I hate it. I can't set anything to my liking. The next time I login it's all back to the default settings. Sorry if I cased any confusion.

Firefox is the best web browser I've run across. The only thing I miss is the add on "Download Them All' which stopped working during one of the last updates. It works so much better than the default file down loader in Firefox.

Hi, that has been left up to the user to decide and to keep Firefox lighter for people that do not use that.

There are several here :

Without using an extension to modify Firefox, a new tab has always opened at the right end of the tabstrip. The exception being when the new tab is from the same domain as the tab being viewed when the user middle-clicks; then it would open in the right-adjacent tab.

IOW, when opening a new tab from this forum and middle-click is used, other pages in the support.mozilla. org will open to the right of the active tab.

There have been (or are) extensions that the user can use to modify that action from the default; perhaps you were using an extension in the past to make that change?

See also this pref on the about:config page.

  • browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

Note that this only applies to opening a link and to how a new tab opens if you click the plus button.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Here's an example of one of the add-ons that will change where "unrelated" new tabs open. There probably are some others by now, but this was the first one I found in my history.
