New tab next to current tab

ok so... why has the simple process of browsing the web been made so damn annoying ?
i want to open a new tab next to a current tab and what do i have to do for this to happen ?
1) i see if there is any option for it in the options - there is nothing
2) i type in about:config and see if can find anything there - nothing
3) i go to google and search for some answers - nothing (the thread is probably closed)
4) i register an account to post a replay - nothing (the thread is closed - http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926633)
5) i have to look for a place where i could post a new thread and ask why is that thread closed where i could easilly have posted my question
6) so - how do i make it happen without installing any special addons and why has this process been made so damn annoying ?
/firefox 33.1, win7
(i already installed that addon and now also updated ff, so lets see if anything changes)

##Support threads that are over 6 months old are automatically locked by the forum software, as with that thread which was started in May of 2012. As of very recently, Google shouldn't be indexing locked support threads here any more. I don't know how quickly that takes effect. Sorry for your inconvenience.##
my only inconvenience is the fact that you are trying to remove the whole point of having a google search engine and the freedom of the internet in the first place - why are the threads closing automatically without any automatic option to re-open them to add to a discussion on the free interwebz ?
tabmix plus is even more annoying because it wants to make the tabs look pointlessly "fancy" and you need to go through 15 pages of options to get the normal visual back (if its even possible)
i did set that preference to false, but it did not change anything (it was true before)

Open Tab next to current tab

I know there is a post on this for Safari for WIndows But I am on a mac.
I want to be able to open a tab next to the tab I am working in even if there are already several tabs open.
Usually I am browsing the internet looking for something and I will open a lot of tabs some related to what I am looking for and some not.
When I do find what I am looking for, I want it to open it in a new tab and next to the tab I am working in rather than it going to the end of all my tabs, which is usually off the tab bar because I have so many open.
I know that Safari can run in 32 bit and I can get saft to work again but I like Safari in 64 bit.
Is there a terminal command I can use?
Please help!!!!!

Glims Beta is available for 64 bit Safari - it gives you some options to change tab behaviour - remove Saft before installing it.

How to open "Open All in Tabs" in the current tab as it did before Firefox 8.x

When click on "Open All in Tabs" on a grouped bookmark item Firefox use to open the group of tabs from the current tab onwards. Since version 7.x it does it by opening a new tab first and leave the current tab unchanged. Is there a setting to be changed to have the same behavior as before? It seems not logical because when I click on a single bookmark item it opens in the current tab.

Yep. Those are all correct.
Here's what I've learned from another site, Sandboxie. And this is why I hate upgrading FF and other s/w if I don't absolutely have to. They always changes stuff:
I believe this link discusses the related change in Firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491947
Before version 14, Firefox used a mechanism called DDE to send links to an open instance of itself. Sandboxie includes support for this kind of one-way DDE communication, specifically to support that use case, which has now stopped working.
'''It stopped working because Firefox 14 no longer uses DDE, as described in that Firefox bugzilla page.'''
I have to take back my earlier post and say that there is nothing I can do about this in Sandboxie and that some kind of workaround will have to be the long term solution.
Guest10's solution works well, but I can't add it as a default in Sandboxie because it means that if you have an open Firefox outside the sandbox and you run Firefox in the sandbox, then a new window (or tab) opens in Firefox outside the sandbox, and nothing runs in the sandbox. I feel this kind of behavior is too confusing to offer as part of Sandboxie.
It might be possible to restore the old functionality in Firefox 14. The bugzilla page says something about Firefox 14 trying to remove all DDE functionality, but the following still seems to work for me. Download the following .reg file to your desktop (outside the sandbox), then double-click it, and confirm entering it into the registry.
See http://sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=13330 for a link and a reg file.

Open link in new tab next to original tab?

I've noticed since updating to FF12 that now when I click to get "open link in new tab," the new tab opens on the far right of my tabs rather than next to the tab I clicked from, as it did in FF3.6. Is there any way to get it to work the old way?
Thanks,
Ellen

Have you tried or checked this hidden Firefox preference in '''''about:config'''''......
You can change a preference to make tabs open
# at the end of all open tabs
# immediately after the current tab.
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
*Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
*If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
*Search = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
*Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
*Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
*Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)
See: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2010/02/01/change-firefox-to-open-new-tab-at-far-right-end-of-tabbar-disable-insert-next-to-current-active-tab/

How do I get tabs to open next to current tab?

How can I get a new tab to open next to the current tab without switching to the new tab instead of having the new tab open at the end of all open tabs and switching to the new tab?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
Hope that fixed it.

New Tab opens in current tab

Hi there,
I have Safari set to open new tabs with "Top Sites". Whenever I try to open a new tab (CMD-T, click on the + symbol in the tab bar or the toolbar, double click next to open tabs), instead of Safari opening a new Tab with the Top Sites showing, it opens an empty page and loads the Top Sites in the current tab!
This means I lose everything that was on that tab!! Unacceptable.
Any ideas?

Go to ~ / Library / Safari.
Move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

When I right click and "Search Google for ____" the resulting google search comes up in a new tab AND the current tab

Right click google search used to open only in a new tab. Now it opens in a new tab and after a moment, the current tab also.
Any ideas?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Open All in Tabs, opens bookmarks in new tabs and leaves current tab open instead of changing to the first bookmark

Whenever I click the "Open All in Tabs", it opens all the bookmarks in new tabs instead of opening the first bookmark in the current tab and the rest in new tabs.
happens on all 3 of my computers running 8.0a1

This isn't possible anymore, due to the fact that this Boolean entry has been removed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395024
 
In my Firefox Aurora 8.0a2 (Windows 7, but Ubuntu 10.10 as well) the current behaviour could be described as follows: 
Open all in tabs
<ul><li>Normal click: opens all in new tabs, changes focus to first one opened;</li>
<li>Ctrl + click: opens all in new tabs, changes focus to first one opened;</li>
<li>Shift + click: opens all in new window, changes focus to first one (tab) opened;</li>
<li>Ctrl + Shift + click: opens all in new tabs, doesn't change focus.</li></ul>
 
Whereas I would like it to be as follows: 
Open all in tabs
<ul><li>Normal click: opens all but the first one (which overwrites current) in new tabs, doesn't change focus (due to the fact that the first item is already in the focused tab); in short, it changes the currently focused to the first item from the folder and appends its' rest on the right side;</li>
<li>Ctrl + click: opens all in new tabs, doesn't change focus;</li>
<li>Shift + click: opens all in new window, changes focus to the first one (tab) opened;</li>
<li>Ctrl + Shift: opens all in new tabs, doesn't change focus.</li></ul>
 
This behaviour was present a few versions ago and only lately have I looked for the solution to this. I encountered many bug files regarding this topic with people speaking against Firefox's behaviour that would close existing tabs when opening all in new tabs (from a folder), which possibly influenced the change that I would like to be reverted.
 
Please let me know if it is possible to attain the behaviour I described.

Two problems with tabs: (1) no "x" to close; and (2) unable to open new tab adjacent to current tab

I don't know if this is a change in how Firefox works, a glitch in my download, or an improper setting, but my tabs don't have an "x" on them to close.
Also, tabs now open at the end of the list rather than in the adjacent window as the did recently. Is there any way to switch this back so new tabs open adjacent to the current tab?

You can reset the tab prefs on the about:config page in case they have been changed.
* browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
* browser.tabs.closeButtons
If you want a close X on the first tab if only one tab is open then set browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false.

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
If you have tab related extensions then check their settings (Options).

Open Tab next to Current

Is there any plan or add-on that will enable a Safari tab to be opened NEXT TO the tab that opened it? This feature is the one reason that I prefer Firefox. It enables me to leave up tabs for long periods, and open up new content from them, but keep the content together in the window.
Is there any roadmap for Safari that is public, or any way to make developer requests?

Hi,
I haven't heard of a way to do this (but that doesn't mean there isn't something out there - edit: there you go above, Mulder says Saft can do it ).
Is there any roadmap for Safari that is public, or any way to make developer requests?
Apple tend to keep things close to their chest You can make feature requests via Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple... (I realise it isn't a bug but this has been the recommended for sending feedback in the past).
Some information about the direction of the WebKit rendering engine can be found over at [webkit.org|www.webkit.org] though.

Bookmark "Open all in tabs" deletes all current tabs

Fresh install of Firefox 29
I have several submenu's of bookmark categories. With Firefox 28 I used to open a blank tab, go to a bookmark subcategory and "Open all in tabs", and the blank tab would be replaced with the several pages I had listed in the bookmark subcategory. All my existing tabs except the blank tab would remain on my tab bar.
Except now, they didn't. All my tabs gone, replaced by the bookmarks I just opened. Yes I can probably find the original in history, etc. but that's not the point. Why are tabs being deleted like this? I consider tab loss a very serious issue, it's akin to data loss, which is not really acceptable.

No, the tabs disappear from the drop down arrow as well.
Settings:
Open links that open in a new window in: New Tab
[x]Warn me when closing multiple tabs
[] Warn me when closing window with multiple tabs
[x]Warn me when closing window with protected tabs
[x]Warn me when opening multiple tabs might slow down Firefox
[x]Don't load tabs until selected
[]When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately
[]Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar
Hide the tab bar: Never
Though I don't see that ANY of these settings have anything to do with this issue at all.

Open page links in new tab instead of current tab

Hi,
I just upgraded to the new version of FF and when i now open links from my current page, they open on the same page rather than in a new tab.
How do I fix this? I know that it sometimes depends on the page, but pages that used to open links in new tabs (and do in IE) open on the current page in FF.
How do I fix?
thanks
amit.

You can middle click a link to open the link in a new tab.

Tab Navigation List - Current Tab

I'm using a tab navigation list to hide/show regions on a page. When the page displays, all the tabs are showing the same way and there is no way to know what tab is current. Is there a way to change the display of tab if it is current?

Hi,
Edit the List you are using in the Tabbed Navigation.
Under "Current List Entry" select "Colon Delimited Page list" and enter the page(s) in "List Entry Current for Condition" for each of the list entries.
Regards,

New tab next to current tab
