Make Firefox open new tabs at end of tab row
Jan 23, 2010 Technology
So you have recently upgraded Firefox and you have noticed that when you open a link in a new tab that it does not open at the end of the tab row. Here is an easy way to fix this:
- Open a new tab/window and type “about:config” in the address bar – You may need to click the “I’ll be careful, I Promise!” button to let you continue opening this page.
- Do a search for: “browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent”
- The default value for this key is true. Double click the key value to change it to false.
- Close out of the about:config
Enjoy opening new tabs at the end of the tab row. If you want to revert back to the related tabs opening right after the other just change the value back to true.

Thank you so much, the new behavior was very frustrating.

Thank you kindly! I hate relative tabs. I tried giving it an honest shot, and 3 days later I just couldn’t take it anymore. Cheers.
