Extension summary

New tabs should always open to the immediate right of the current tab. And now they will.

Usually when I open new tabs, it's not because a lightning bolt struck, and I must switch from my current activity to a new and different one. Most of the time the new tab is directly related to what I'm currently doing, so when Firefox (or a Chromium-based browser) opens tabs at the end of 50 tabs, they're almost guaranteed to be far from the tabs I was working with. I then find myself hunting around for the tabs I was just at, sometimes trying long and RSI-inducing drag-and-drop operations to regroup things.

Sure, if I wanted to strictly manage things, I could always have separate tab groups in this tab set, but often my workflow is more organic than that, and I end up in this place, and I should be able to continue working with the software in the way that my mind expects it to work.

So maybe this isn't for you, but I'm Always Right.

Does exactly what I want, which is place all new tabs next to the current one while preserving their order. If I have three tabs open now, ALPHA, BRAVO, and CHARLIE and my current tab is BRAVO when I open three new tabs they appear between BRAVO and CHARLIE. It helps to think of it as a tree: ALPHA BRAVO |-- New1 |-- New2 `-- New3 CHARLIE If I open another link while in BRAVO it will appear between New3 and CHARLIE.
