+When you have more tabs than the width of the screen, i.e. some tabs
+are hidden and you have to click the right/left arrow on the tab bar
+to see all the tabs, that's where this option is very effective.
+
+And on the internet you're not reading a book; for example I have 20+
+tabs of bug report open, when I middle click a link from any report (a
+link to another bug, an upstream bug, a mailing list discussion), it
+opens next to it, not at the end of the stack.
+
+The point here is not just the personal preference of each user, we're
+not hardcoding the pref, the user can flip it any time he wants to do
+so; but the fact that this is an upstream feature that was turned off
+because the guy who submitted firefox in mdv at the time this pref was
+shipped by upstream "didn't like it"; the point is others may like it
+/ find it useful.
+
+IMHO, that upstream default should be shipped as it.
