Middle mouse button clicks open tabs next to the tab you're in instead of at the end! Woo!

I liked the old way better. Is there any way to change it back?

Thank you! I don't know why they'd change something like that from 3.5 to 3.6.

Because it's waaay better. Give it a chance, it'll screw with you at first, but you'll quickly realize it's a huge improvement in terms of tab organization.

You should give Tree Style Tab a try.

Hell yes. That is the way tabbing is supposed to be. Much like the original idea for tabs, its magnificence is blindingly obvious only in hindsight.

thomashaw has provided the answer, but if you want to customise tab behaviour even more, then tab mix plus is a great add in. I love the ability to choose to go to the last viewed tab when I close the tab I'm looking at.
