You might know that I'm still holding on to using Firefox as my daily driver. Things aren't looking great at Mozilla and I'm still peeking at Vivaldi, but so far I simply haven't made the switch.
Now, Kaushik shared some Firefox styling tricks in "How to Firefox" that I didn't apply, but I learned how to fix a behavior that was silently bugging me for 20 years now.
You know when you open a new tab with CMD+T and the new tab always goes to the end of your tab list. For people with a few open tabs this might not be a big deal, but I'm a tab hoarder with 177 open tabs right now. If I'm on tab 50 and decide to open a new tab, chances are pretty high that the new tab is related to the fiftieth tab.
If you want to open tabs next to your current tabs, head over to your about:config and change browser and browser to true.
That's it! Right now I'm pretty happy with this change. Let's see if it lasts.
