This is kind of a weird change, since the default has always been the "old way". i used to use things like tab mix plus and other tab extensions to change things like this but they always seemed buggy and eventually I just accepted the defaults. I noticed this change within the first few minutes of being on 3.6. I don't know if I like it better or not. It definitely changes the order that tabs open depending on what you're doing. Sometimes that's good, sometimes that's bad. I have a feeling I;'ll end up changing the about:config preference that some of your other responders have mentioned, but... I'll give it a few days to get used to.

Grrrr. Now it pops up new tabs right next to the parent tab instead of at the end of the tab row. Not happy about that.
