I would like to set tabbed browsing so that each time I click on a new link, it opens in a new tab adjacent to the existing tab.

Middle-click or CTRL+left-click a link or a Bookmark to open it in a new tab (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel). You can also right-click a link or Bookmark and choose "Open in New Tab".

To open all new tabs next to the currently selected tab, you need to set/check a hidden preference:

  • Type about:config in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
  • If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
  • Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
  • Look at the "Value" column (false=open at end, true=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
  • Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
  • Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)

I know how to access the tabs panel; that is not my problem. Despite whatever combination of features I check (or uncheck) on the tabs panel, when I click on a new link, it replaces the tab I was on instead of opening a new one.
