Adding a new tab between two specific tabs

There is no option to add new tab(s) between a specific location. From specific location, I intended to add a new tab between two tabs, not at the end of all the tabs. To make it more understandable, here is a scenario:

For example, on my Firefox browser, following tabs are opened in the order as follows: Tab1, Tab2, Tab3, Tab4, Tab5, Tab6.

Now, I wanted to add a Tab7, but not at the end, as it happens usually. I want to add it between Tab2 and Tab3 directly without manually dragging it in between and hence I want to get the following order:

Tab1, Tab2, Tab7, Tab3, Tab4, Tab5 and Tab6.

Unlike other browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge Chromium, I feel this is a subtle feature which is missing in Firefox. In those browsers, you can just directly right-click on the opened tab and click "New Tab", which adds a new tab in between the opened tab and the adjacent one.

I really wish this feature is provided as soon as possible on Firefox too.

Thank You. Regards, VIVEK.

被選擇的解決方法

You can look at these two prefs on the about:config page and set them both to true to inset new tabs next to the current tab instead of at the right end.

  • browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent = true
  • browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

You can also search the Add-ons website for a suitable extension.

Unbelievable! What's happened with the support community!? Why nobody is answering the question. It's a pretty simple question and I had tried to explain my query in as simple language as I could.

Please answer it. Somebody!

I can rephrase it a little: How do I add a new tab immediately after a tab on which I am currently working on without having to add a new tab and dragging it all the way along to the desired option. (This feature is available in Google Chrome wherein, we can simply right click any tab and add a new one, which appears right besides the current tab.)

Don't we have this functionality in Mozilla Firefox?

Your response entirely settles my query. However, just asking a question out of curiosity as to why this option hasn't been enabled by default. Since this is an important functionality and is used quite frequently.

I am still waiting for your valuable response.

We can't answer this question as it is up to the Firefox developers to decide what features enable by default and have them present in Options/Preferences for easier access instead of only via about:config. This is likely a feature that isn't used by a large audience and could be aimed at extension developers that want to implement where to open new tabs.

For many years, an extension named Tab Mix Plus allowed users to change where a new tab opened. The browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent preference wasn't added until Firefox 61. The default value of false preserves the traditional behavior of Firefox 1.0 - 60.
