Description

New tabs should always open to the immediate right of the current tab. And now they will. Usually when I open new tabs, it's not because a lightning bolt struck, and I must switch from my current activity to a new and different one. Most of the time the new tab is directly related to what I'm currently doing, so when Firefox (or a Chromium-based browser) opens tabs at the end of 50 tabs, they're almost guaranteed to be far from the tabs I was working with. I then find myself hunting around for the tabs I was just at, sometimes trying long and RSI-inducing drag-and-drop operations to regroup things. Sure, if I wanted to strictly manage things, I could always have separate tab groups in this tab set, but often my workflow is more organic than that, and I end up in this place, and I should be able to continue working with the software in the way that my mind expects it to work. So maybe this isn't for you, but I'm Always Right.

This was pretty good for a while, but now it's failing almost every time. Wish there was a good replacement

Does not work. Even after a restart.

Does not work when opening links in a new tab. Only the first link clicked on a page opens next to the current tab.

No options page - you can't set anything. So you can't set which tab to activate when closing a tab.

Doesn't work when I open several links from the same page; the first link opens to the right of the active link (as it should), the second link opens to the right of the first link, the third link opens to the right of the second link and so on.

when I first go to my browser and open another tab it seems to open all the way down (not right next to the tab I am in), but then it seems to turn on after that, so sort of annoying, but usually works

Works poorly. It opens the first tab next to the current tab but then opens new tabs after the that tab and so on. FAIL!

Sort of works but not really. I wanted a replacement for 'Open Tabs Next to Current' since it stopped working. This extension does open the FIRST tab next to current tab but all subsequent tabs open after that and other subsequent tabs. Needs redesign.
