browserSettings.newTabPosition
A BrowserSetting object that can be used to control the position of newly opened tabs relative to already open tabs.
The underlying value is a string that can take one of three values:
- "afterCurrent": Open all new tabs next to the current tab.
- "relatedAfterCurrent": The default. Open new tabs next to the current tab if they are related to the current tab (for example, if they were opened via a link in the current tab). Otherwise, open new tabs at the end of the tabstrip.
- "atEnd": Open all tabs at the end of the tabstrip.
Examples
This code sets the value to "afterCurrent" and then logs the new value:
js
async function setAfterCurrent() {
let result = await browser.browserSettings.newTabPosition.set({
value: "afterCurrent",
});
console.log(`Result: ${result}`);
let newValue = await browser.browserSettings.newTabPosition.get({});
console.log(`New value: ${newValue.value}`);
}
