Firefox 3.6 and its new tab behaviour

    They altered the default new tab position in FF 3.6, so now a new tab from a link opens a new tab immediately after the source tab in an attempt to show the relation between them, rather than adding it to the end of the tabs. After many years of FF usage, I found this really annoying, so here's how to return to the original behaviour.

    Open about:config in FF.

    Agree to the warning prompt.

    Search for the term related and you'll see an entry for browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent, double click to set it to false and return to the previous behaviour.

    Yeah chrome does this too but there is a simple plugin that turns it back to normal

    It's not a menu, it's a special URL to enter in the address bar.

    For a brief history lesson also try about:mozilla.

    This was the first thing that I had to change. It doesn't bother me in Chrome/Chromium for some reason. OT but loving personas.
