Dear MultiZillanistas 

I set up my MultiZilla's Tab Bar behavior to open new tabs to the 
right of the current tab, rather than at the end of tabs, because 
it's usually a link connected to the page I'm currently viewing, 
and I like to keep the companion page close at hand. However, 
this brings up a problem when opening groupmarks or saved 
sessions, since not having new tabs open at the end scrambles the 
order from that in which the session or group was saved. For now 
— when I remember — I reset new tabs to open at the end before 
opening a group or saved session, then return it to opening new 
tabs to the right of the current tab. 

I wish, especially for saving and reloading tab sessions, that 
when a session is restored, the new tab ordering could be 
temporarily reset to end-of-tabs, and then restored after the 
session is loaded. (For groupmarks that I open often, I've 
compensated by reordering the links in the groupmark.) 

In a way, resetting the tab order to open at the end makes sense 
and is in sync with the tab session saving procedure. When saving 
a session, the tabs are saved in the order of left to right, and 
the setting of new tab opening order doesn't affect this. Since 
they are saved from left to right, then they should be restored 
from left to right, and a different new tab opening order should 
be ignored or suspended during the reloading operation. I wish I 
understood enough about this sort of programming to accomplish 
this myself, but for now it's over my head. Also, there is so 
much code in MultiZilla that it would take me probably weeks to 
find the right place for making this change. So please give it 
your consideration. Thanks...
