Is there a way to get all new tabs to open to the right of all extant tabs?

I just upgraded from to 3.6.10 and now when I open a tab by right-clicking on a link in a current tab, the new tab opens somewhere other than the far right end of all the tabs I have open.

I want all new tabs to open to the right of the tabs I already have open, just like they used to with the previous version of Firefox I was using.

Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter.

Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

Double-click that preference to change the value to false

Thank you, the-edmeister, it worked! And just in time, too--I have a "tab-intensive" project to do today and I would've lost my mind without your help.
