Tabs Open Directly After Current Tab
I updated to Firefox 3.6.6 and before, the settings were that when I opened a link in a new tab, it would go to the end of the tab list, but now it opens the tab right after the current tab and I can't find how to change it back. I've checked the settings and I skimmed through the about:config, but still can't figure it out. It's starting to be kind of annoying.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to the newest version

Look at Tab Mix Plus Options. Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on Tab Mix Plus, click Options, in the Tab Mix Plus interface, click Events, click the Tab Opening tab, look at what you have check marked on that panel. Un-check any that you need to, restart Firefox and test.
If that does not solve the problem, reset a preference: You can change a preference to make tabs open (1) at the end of all open tabs, or (2) immediately after the current tab.
-Type about:config in the URL bar and press the Enter key. -If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful). -Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent -Look at the "Value" column (false=open at end, true=open after current tab) -Double-click that preference to change the value, if you need to -Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox) NOTE: The settings in Tab Mix Plus will over-ride the preference setting.

You ~~red:MAY~~ need to Update Adobe Reader for Firefox (aka Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox): your ver. N/A; current ver. 9.3.3 (important security update release 06-29-2010; see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-15.html) ~~red:Check your version here~~: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox#Installing_and_updating_Adobe_Reader You may be able to update from the Adobe Reader installed on your system instead of going to the Adobe site and downloading. Open the Adobe Reader installed on your system (in Windows, Start > Program Files, find and click Adobe Reader to open), click Help, click Check for Updates. If you go to the Adobe site to download the current Adobe Reader: -use Firefox to download and SAVE to your hard drive (save to Desktop for easy access) ~~red:-See the images at the bottom left of this post to see the steps to take on the Adobe site~~ -exit Firefox (File > Exit) -In Windows: check to see that Firefox is completely closed (Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window) -In Windows: double-click on the Adobe Reader installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Reader
- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
- NOTE for IE: Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version. To install/update the IE ActiveX version, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX installer. See: ActiveX
