Pinned Tabs Fix

Get the add-on from the Mozilla add-on page.

Tabs that are opened from a pinned one are opened at the far left of the tab bar. This gets problematic if you use a large amount of tabs because you start to jump from the left to the right end of your tab bar. Normally new tabs are opened on the right end - this add-on ensures that tabs from a pinned tab are opened on the right end, too.

This add-on adds the functions described in this bug discussion.

Known Issues:

Due to limitations in the implementation of Add-ons in Firefox you may see the tabbar scrolling from left to right. Depending on your settings you may also see flashing of the current page when opening a new Tab.
