When I changed to Firefox 5.0 I lost the functionality of opening new tabs next to current tab. How can I get an extension or change back to 3.,6 tabs?

You can check the value of the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to see if it is still true.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

This issue also can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
