To fix Firefox 3.6's annoying tab behavior:

Make New Tab Pages Open in the Far Right of the Tab Bar

• Type about:config in the address bar. Then, if needed click the “I’ll be careful, I promise!” button.
  
  
• Next, in the filter box – type in:
  tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
  
  
• Right-click that about:config entry, and select “Toggle”

I never understood why you would want it all the way to the right... anyone care to explain? Is it just because that's how it was in the beginning?

I personally think most links I click relate to the current tab, so naturally i would want them next to the current tab.

but it's how i am used to do.

but i usually just navigate through tabs by ctrl+pgup/down, so i dunno.

But to me, the old behavior, feels more natural.

I like the new tabs being on the right side because I know exactly where to go.

When a tab opens up beside the window that created it, I lose track of where that is among the 10 or so tabs I have open.

For me, I'll usually have a few tabs open. Let's say I'm on tab 2 of 4. I see a bunch of links I want to read. I'll scroll down the page, middle-clicking them all in order of how I want to read them.

If the new tabs are opened furthest to the right, I'll know that the ones at the end are the ones I just opened, and they'll be in the order I want them.

If they open directly after the tab I clicked them from, then not only are they lost in the shuffle between what used to be tabs 2 and 3, but, but they'll also line up in reverse order than the way I click them, since each new one would open right before the last one.
