Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

Pin a tab (such as gmail)
Have many other normal tabs open (over 15-20)
From your pinned tab click a link that opens a new tab.

Actual results:

New tab opens to the far left (first) tab

Expected results:

New Tab opened FROM pinned tab should be treated as a "Ctrl+T" like new tab. The current behavior is what you would expect from a normal tab opening a new one directly to its right, but in a pinned tab environment, the new tab should open as an actual new tab at the end of the list.

Please consider making this a specific option in about:config.

I was able to get expected behavior by changing browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false, but the problem with this is it is not dedicated to pinned tabs. Consider making an option for pinned tabs specifically.
