Always Right Firefox

Always Right

Open new tabs to the immediate right of your current tab.

Features & Capabilities

Always Right is a simple yet powerful Chrome extension that ensures new tabs open immediately to the right of your current tab. Unlike default browser behavior where new tabs often open at the end, Always Right keeps your workflow organized by placing new tabs in intuitive proximity, reducing the need to search or rearrange tabs. This extension is ideal for users who work with many tabs and want a more predictable and efficient tab management experience.

While there are some known limitations due to browser extensions API constraints, such as automatic scrolling behavior with many tabs, Always Right enhances your browsing productivity and maintains your mental flow. For more advanced help or to contribute, the project is open on GitHub.

User Reviews

Users commonly report that Always Right does exactly what it promises for many people—instantly opening new tabs to the immediate right. However, several reviewers say it is unreliable or has stopped working, sometimes opening tabs anywhere to the right, and appears unmaintained. Overall: useful and simple when functional, but inconsistent and possibly abandoned for some users.
Pros
  • When it works, it reliably opens new tabs to the right of the current tab (fixes Firefox’s default behavior).
  • Many users report instant, easy installation and immediate effect—simple and does what it promises.
  • Positive feedback from several users who’ve used it for years and appreciate its utility.
Cons
  • Many users report the add‑on is unreliable or stops working altogether.
  • When it fails, new tabs can open anywhere to the right instead of immediately adjacent to the current tab.
  • Multiple reviewers suggest the extension appears unmaintained/abandoned (no recent updates).

Despite the reviews claiming it doesn't work now, it does work on my side.

Doesn't work anymore. It's now useless. With 10 tabs open on my right, it can appear anywhere in there and not on my immediate right. It looks like developer gave up on it since it's been about a year since it's last update.

Is Always Right Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Always Right requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Always Right has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
