Tabs ordering in sidebar

Hi there! I find the new sidebar (on the left for me) a great addition but is there a way to reverse the "top to bottom" tabs displaying order?

Not a way to move tabs, but a setting allowing, when opening a new tab (Ctrl+t), to place (and display) the icon on top of the tabs icons pile, not at the bottom.

I get that it's the opposite of the normal reading direction, but it's rather unnatural to go looking at the bottom of the screen for recently opened tabs, IMHO.

Thanks in advance if you can address this, or show me where I can find such setting.

Best regards from France, Jc

Hi Jc,

The only related thing I know about is the browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent pref, which makes Firefox place a new tab immediately after your current one.

You can submit your idea on Mozilla Connect, though

Hi Denys, thank you for your answer. Yes, I thought of that and of a few other options I tried to tinker with in the about:config, but they didn't do the trick... Thank you for the Mozilla Connect link. I guess I'll have to use that (last resort?!!). Bye for now!

Yep! You're right, and apparently many people like the idea...
