I just got update to Firefox 3.6 and find it annoying now, that when I right-click to open a new tab, it puts it up front. Previously, before Firefox version 3.6, all new tabs are added at the far right end of the Tab bar of the popular web browser to surf Internet. The change make Firefox tab behavior to be almost similar to Internet Explorer, versions IE7 and IE8. I cant seem to get used to the new tab opening style, and I want to revert and get back to the old way. I really liked it where all new tabs are inserted and added at the far right end of the Tab bar after all existing tabs, use the following how-to trick to make the change.

    Alternatively, manually locate the preference name above.

  4. The default boolean value for the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent is “true”. Double click on the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to false.

  5. Close the tab, and the change will take effect immediately.
