Features & Capabilities

If you are in the middle of a bunch of tabs and decide to open a new tab to do a quick search and then close that tab, chances are you will be dropped at the end of the tab bar and you won't know the last tab you were looking at.

This extension will set the browser.browserSettings.newTabPosition setting to "afterCurrent" so that new tabs always open next to the currently active tab.

This extension is similar to the "Always Right" extension (which I didn't know existed because it didn't have the newTabPosition search term) but my extension requires fewer permissions.

Simple and does what it says it does. This is especially useful when you have tons of tabs open and your original tab is away from the very last tab.

Is newTabPosition 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.

newTabPosition does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

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