Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

Attachment: Screenshot_20250501_164943-1.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:138.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/138.0

Steps to reproduce:

Start fresh Firefox profile
Open few tabs an make them pinned
Open some more tabs and add them to group
Switch to pinned tab, then open a link in a new tab

Actual results:

New tab opens between the section of pinned tabs and grouped tabs.

Expected results:

I'd like to have an option for opening of new tab immediately after grouped tabs, but not between pinned and grouped. Please see the screenshot attached: when new tab is opened from pinned tab A, it has appear at position B, whereas I would be happy to have it opened at position C.

Switching of either browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent or browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent don't help: new tab will be at the very right end of tab list.

In other words, I would like to have an option to pin groups of tabs the very same way as individual tabs.
