How can I make new tabs open next to the current tab?
New tabs are advertised in Firefox 5.0 as being set to open next the the current tab by default. Mine, however, do not do this. They open to the right of the last tab, necessitating a lot of tab-scrolling, and a minor waste of time.
I have not installed the extension that forces the tab behaviour I'm currently witnessing.
Is there a kind soul out there with any suggestions for how I can get my new tabs to appear next to the tab I'm working on?

Tabs that are "related" to the current tab, like the same domain, open to the right of the current tab. Other links that are from other domains open at the right end of the tab strip.
The pref for that actions is browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent.
To have them all open to the right of the current tab would need an add-on, if that action even exists in an add-on.
Follow these steps:
- In the Location bar type about:config
- Read the warning and then click the I'll be careful, I promise! button
- Type browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent in the Filter search box
- Toggle the value to true, by double clicking on the value
- Restart Firefox (this is important).
Got to give credit where it's due, the above advice come from a user's comment, here.
