Since Firefox 3.6, newly-opened related tabs open next to the current one. I think it would be logical and improve consistency to also apply this behavior to middle clicking the Reload button (only when the "browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent" flag is set to true, of course).

In other words: currently, if you middle click the Reload button (therefore reopening the current page in a new tab), the new tab will open at the end of the tab bar. I suggest that the new tab opens next to the current tab instead.
