[Bug 572074] [NEW] New tabs open to the right of all existing tabs instead of opening next to the current tab

[Jani Uusitalo]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

As the summary says: when a user opens a new, empty tab, it opens next
to the rightmost of tabs currently open in the browser. This is
inconsistent with the way links in new tabs are opened, which is to have
them next to the currently active tab.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open multiple tabs in the browser.
2. Select the leftmost tab.
3. Press Ctrl + T.

Expected result:
Have a new, empty tab next to the leftmost tab.

Actual result:
The new, empty tab opens next to the rightmost tab.
