With preferences set to open new pages in new tabs instead of new windows, prior to this version, when you CMD-clicked a link on a page, you got the new page in a tab at the far right of the tab bar. Now, it opens the new page immediately to the right of the current page. Bad news for people who want part of their tab bar to be stable. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any web page containing a link
2. Command-T to open a new blank tab
3. Return to the first page and CMD-click the link

Actual Results:  
The new page opens in a tab immediately next to the current page (between it and the blank one you created in step 2

Expected Results:  
The new page should open in a new tab at the far right of the tab bar. 

This is important to me because I load Gmail, Gmail Settings, and cPanel as my Home pages. When I open a new page in a tab, I want it to be to the right of my Home pages, not pushing them over.
