User reviews
Pros
- Opens new tabs immediately next to the current tab, improving tab order management.
- Works better than the default Firefox behavior and some native settings like browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent.
- Remains functional and beneficial in newer Firefox versions (e.g., Firefox 116).
- Allows opening multiple tabs next to the current tab in a more logical, recent-to-last order.
Cons
- Sometimes causes Firefox to jump or scroll the tab bar to the rightmost tab when opening from bookmarks, which disrupts workflow.
- Does not fully override Firefox's default behavior of jumping to the last tab when new tabs are opened, causing disorientation with many tabs.
- Has some compatibility issues or stability problems, especially when running Firefox on Wayland in Linux, with potential crashes.
- Does not always open tabs exactly next to the current one inside tab groups, opening tabs slightly further to the right instead.

Inside tab groups, the new tab doesn't open right next to the current tab but two tabs to the right.

Extension safety
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.
Open Tabs Next to Current 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
Open Tabs Next to Current has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
