Summary
Open Tabs Next To Current
Open tabs that would normally be opened last next to the current one. Tabs that are being re-opened are thus not included. You can use Ctrl-Y (Ctrl-Shift-Y on Windows) to open a new tab at the default location.
After the addition of the browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent setting in about:config you do not need this extension anymore.
