How do I stop the tab bar from jumping/scrolling to the left whenever I click a tab on the right?

Whenever I have more tabs open than will fit in one screen-width of the tab bar, tabs are added on the right as they scroll to the right. When using a lot of tabs, and I click on a tab on the right end of the tab bar, the tab bar suddenly jumps/scrolls all the way back to the starting point on the left. Then I've got to scroll all the way back to the right to get back to the tab I originally clicked, and click it again. How can I get Firefox to simply go to the tab I click? This behavior is extremely aggravating. It's worse than the jumping directory tree in Win7. How can I make it stop?

That is not the way Firefox is supposed to work. The tab strip should stay with the selected tab, and not jump all the way to the left side. More than likely you have an extension or two that "doesn't play well with others".
