## Description

**New Tab Context** is a minimalist Firefox extension designed to add a single, focused feature: it inserts an item into the tab context menu that allows users to open a new tab directly adjacent to the current one. This extension does not add any other functionality or customization options, keeping the browsing experience simple and efficient.

The menu entry includes an icon and is positioned at the bottom of the menu by default. Users looking to customize its placement or appearance can modify their `userChrome.css` file as detailed in the extension's documentation. This lightweight tool is ideal for users who want quick access to opening adjacent new tabs without additional complexity or clutter. For those requiring keyboard shortcuts or tab duplicating features, the extension suggests alternatives like "New Tab Beside." The icon is credited to designer Alessandro Rei.
