Hi @sloppy-ninja! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the desktop team.

You can open new tabs immediately after (below) the current tab by setting the advanced option browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent to true in about:config. If you want this only for non-pinned tabs, set browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrentExceptPinned to true. There isn’t currently a built-in way to open new tabs above (before) the current tab—only after/below is supported. The old “New Tab Below” context menu option is no longer available, and there’s no built-in shortcut for this behavior right now. Users have requested more flexible placement options, but for now, the insertAfterCurrent setting is the closest available feature for opening new tabs close to the current one details more info.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
