How to Open New Tab at the End in Firefox

Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by a_usman in Browsers, HowTo | 3 comments

Recently firefox has been updated to version 3.6 with the addition of some new features like the behaviour of firefox tabs to open next to current tab instead of at the end of all tabs. Some user don’t like this way of firefox tabs’ opening because they are familiar with the old behaviour.

In IE and Google chrome tabs open in the same way as the tabs open in the current version of firefox i.e. 3.6. Though the idea behind this feature is to open the related links next to current active tab to group together, however for some users this feature is annoying.

Here is a simple method to change the tab order according to previous versions of firefox so that new tab opens far right at the end of all tabs.

• Open the firefox and type the following command in location bar about:config
• You will receive a warning message, click on I’ll be careful, I promise! button to proceed. 
• Enter this string in the filter text box to search it or you can search it manually browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent. The default value of this string is “True”. Click on the string and change the value to “False”. 
• Thats all. Now new tab will open at the end of all tabs.
