Go into about:config

This new behavior irked me so much I was ready to drop Firefox if I couldn't fix it.
to ZDNet.....

 

Thanks Stoner.

I thought I was the only one who found it annoying.

 

Or use Tab Mix Plus to control many tab behaviors.

 

Tabs in general irk me

 

Interesting.

The feature that first attracted me to Firefox were the tabs that IE didn't have at that time.

In researching something, I often have 10 tabs and sometimes even more open, so their order is important.
If I return to a previously opened tab and go off on another line of thought, the order of the tabs isn't reflecting the change of the search with this new default.....it inserts a tab/tabs breaking the logical order the tabs should reflect.

 

While the hack works for me....that extension looks interesting.
I'll try it out.

 

I've also been using TabMix for years, love it.
