I couldn't reproduce this:

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Firefox.

2. Ensure TST not installed or is disabled.

3. Confirm tab insert config settings are at their _default_ values:

4. Browse to a page with several links

5. Confirm expected tab opening behaviour. Middle click or right click Open in New tab several links (1, 2, 3) on current page

6. Tabs should open next to current tab in order 3, 2, 1 i.e. each tab opening immediately next to the current tab.

You mean tabs should be opened as following?:

• Current Tab
• 3rd tab opened from a link with the context menu command "Open Link in New Tab"
• 2nd tab opened from a link with the context menu command "Open Link in New Tab"
• 1st tab opened from a link with the context menu command "Open Link in New Tab"

On my environment, Nightly 123.0ai with clean profile (without TST of course) puts opened tabs with the order:

• Current Tab
• 1st tab opened from a link with the context menu command "Open Link in New Tab"
• 2nd tab opened from a link with the context menu command "Open Link in New Tab"
• 3rd tab opened from a link with the context menu command "Open Link in New Tab"

To get results like yours, I had to set browser.tabs.loadInBackground=false also. Otherwise I had to switch to tabs opened from the current tab on each step, to clear internal "related current tabs" information. Is this a missing steps to reproduce you reported?

If you need to put new tabs from links to the top of existing children always, you should configure TST as:

• TST 3.9.19
  • TST Options => Unlock Expert Options => checked
  • TST Options => Tabs opened from Existing Tabs => When a tab is opened from existing tab, open it as => a child of the parent tab (Recommended)
  • TST Options => Tree Behavior => Insertion position of new child tabs => The top of the tree (next to the parent)
• TST 3.9.20 or later
  • TST Options => Unlock Expert Options => checked
  • TST Options => Tabs opened from Existing Tabs => When a tab is opened from existing tab, open it as => First Child of the parent tab
