new tab opens always on the right
When I pressed the "+" symbol at the right side of my tabs with the left mouse button, a new tab opens at the most right place. So far, so easy.
When I pressed the same "+" symbol using the middle mouse button, the new tab opened right beside the active tab. Now, middle mouse button and left mouse button do the same thing.
Work around could be to open the context menu (right mouse button) of a tab, choose "new tab" an get a new tab right beside the tab chosen with the mouse pointer while pressing the right mouse button.
Did something recently change?

There are these middleclick prefs that you can look at (both true for me).
- browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick true
- browser.tabs.searchclipboardfor.middleclick true

Go to about:config in the address bar and make sure browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent is default true.
Thanks for watching and replying.
It is set as it should, the default. And the old behavior is partly back. Could this be theme related? That's the only thing I changed as far as I remember.
Now the middle click opens a new tab (right position of the active one), but my standard search machine is shown searching for the content in my clipboard (strg+c)?

Thank you very much. Setting the last one
browser.tabs.searchclipboardfor.middleclick false
seems to do the trick and the old behaviour (at least for me?!) seems to be back.
In a new profile without any modifications, browser.tabs.searchclipboardfor.middleclick doesn't make any difference to where new tabs are created when middle-clicking the new tab button.
