Looks like I’m gonna have to do this every time I do a fresh Linux install — configure Firefox to open links in new tabs with the new tab positioned at the far right. The way I like it.

Type the following into the address bar:

about:config

If a warning shows up, promise to be careful.

The option that needs to be configued is:

browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

Easiest way to find it is enter it into the search box. Set it to “False”.

Now tabs will open where I expect them to open.
