Hi,

Is there a way (built-in or via an addon) to change the order of "related" tabs open from a specific tab by click or middle-click? In Firefox, when I start with 1 and click four times, I end up with tabs 1 5 4 3 2. In Chrome it's 1 2 3 4 5, which is to me much more natural. How can I change this setting?

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestions, but they don't do the thing. The first extension looks like a simple switch from "open at the end of tab list" to "open after current tab", but it doesn't change the order, so after a few clicks I still get the order as "1 5 4 3 2". The Foxy Tabs extension doesn't have this option either. It would have to be something along the lines "open new tab always after the _most recent_ tab", as opposed to "after the current one". I browsed the about:config page but haven't found anything like that, googling hasn't helped either.

Thanks anyway, Greg

I you would have to google search the way you want and try variations of it with keywords : firefox extension add-on

And/or check the list that I took the 2 I posted from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=open+tabs

You can toggle this pref on the about:config page to add these tabs at the end of the Tab bar in the order you click them.

  • browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent = false

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.

Adding the first extension seems to have fixed this problem. Thank you.
