There is a plugin in the meantime called "Tabs Open Relative" which makes new tabs open next to the active one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US... I've used it for a few months, and find it annoying to go back to Safari, where the tabs keep queuing up at the end. - Zach Beauvais from FriendFeed MT Plugin

You can already do this and a lot more to Tabs with an extension called 'Tabs Mix Plus. Must have extension. But it'll still be good to have built in support for it. Better late than never I guess! - Bhavishya Kanjhan from FriendFeed MT Plugin

Sarah I swear I've been getting frustrated with this problem for the past two days. It's been ridiculous. I want ALL my tabs to open to the right, including new blank tabs, not just links. Though I believe TabMix is an ext that already solves this problem. Hopefully the integration will come soon (like this month soon)! - Corvida from FriendFeed MT Plugin
