Firefox 8 puts new tabs opened from links in another tab at the end of the tab list, NOT next to the tab it came from like in V3.6. I want it next to the tab it came from. How do I get it to do this?

Question as stated, sums it up. When I click the mousewheel on a link in a tab I want a new tab open with that link and I want it next to the tab I clicked the link in just like Firefox V3.6 did. Firefox 8 is always opening the new tab at the end of the list and boy is this annoying!

Please tell me how to fix this.

Set the Boolean pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to true on the about:config page.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
  • Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
  • Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
  • Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

then type in the bar browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

then Right-click click on it, and select Toggle, and you see changing the value from True to False.

exit firefox and restart.

cor-el is the right reply, I said the opposite, changing the value from False to TRUE is the right one.

A big sorry from me, thanks again
