I’ll definitely let you know. I get lost in Tab Land too often. Only argument I can see for new tab on the end is the + button is there.

This is a great extension, just wish it were a bit more reliable. Sometimes, tabs open at the end of the tab stack unexpected. Hoping the new Firefox features will fix it eventually.
