New tab should open popup right next to current tab

[rugk]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a feed when setting is set to "opne in new tab"

Expected behavior

Just like "view source" opens to the right of the current tab.

Actual behavior

Opens at the end of tab list.

Screenshots and/or logs (see how to open the developer console in your browser)

See april/certainly-something#12 where another add-on had the same problem.

Follow these steps:

• Load about:config and digit the string browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent in the search bar.
• Set the preference to true by double-clicking on it.
• Restart the browser.

Yes, but this affects all tabs. This is not wwhat I want.

See also the discussion under april/certainly-something#12 (comment):

I would like it to work like "View Page Source" and open a new tab to the immediate right of the current page

I'll look into this. I'm not sure if I have any control.

If added, does a preference / checkbox defaulting to checked sound right? Or would it make more sense to add it to the <option>s of opening feeds?

[rugk]

Checkbox, but generally I don't need it be configurable- You also cannot configure View site source.

I'm not sure if I have any control.

Yes, you have: april/certainly-something@d8b6f0d

@Keith94 No, that should not change the browser settings. 😄 See commit linked above (why do I even link to solved issues already twice…? Two clicks and you see the solution.)

[shgysk8zer0]

@rugk Sometime people scan through issues without reading every comment in detail or opening every link. I haven't opened the link myself yet (I'm not in a position right now to go too in depth into anything, but I do have a few minutes), but I expect I'll find instructions on how to control tab position in there somewhere.

@rugk There's now a "New tab" & "Adjacent tab" option.
