Firefox on Android: how can I make it open new tabs in the same way as on a PC, rather than the other way round? How?

Firefox für Android Tabs

We’re on some website called xyz and there are links to articles there. If, on Android, we hover over a link and select ‘Open in a new tab’, we’ll get something like this: third open link, second open link, first open link However, on a PC, if we do the same thing, we’ll end up with first link, second link, third link According to what I’ve found online, this is controlled by the `browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent` setting in `about:config`. Only the Firefox app from Google Play has `about:config` disabled. So how do you change this?

No, this is not correct. Android Firefox doesn't use that preference.

Is there a way to set Firefox on Android so that the order is the same as on a PC – 1, 2, 3 – rather than 3, 2, 1, because it really annoys me?

There's no way, because this code is forcing every new tab to be opened just after its parent. And there's no setting to switch it around.
