Options where to open new tabs and which tab to focus after closing a tab

[Simile9041]

I'd like to see these options:

1. Open new tabs either:

• next to current tab (when clicking on a link) [current behaviour]
• always on the far right [this is basically browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent = false]

2. After closing a tab, focus on either:

• adjacent tab [current behaviour]
• previously used tab [possible with "Select After Closing Current" extension].

This used to work for years then an update changed. I often have many tabs open and a new tab can open almost anywhere. Yes have tried setting it to open next to current one but no longer works in many situations. If on Google search a new tab does open next to it, if I'm say on ebay or my own website then it can be way down the line.
