In light of the recently-added tab groups feature, one feature which I think would be really welcome would be a keyboard shortcut (similar to Ctrl + T) which opens a new tab directly to the right of the current tab, in the same group as the currently-active tab.

Before I switched from Chrome to Firefox, I was an avid user of the "New Adjacent Tab" extension, which implemented this behaviour. There is a similar add-on for Firefox ("Open Adjacent New Tab") but it does not perfectly replicate the behaviour of the Chrome extension when the currently-selected tab is the rightmost tab in its group. I think this would be a helpful keyboard shortcut to have in Firefox for easier tab management, particularly for creating and managing tabs within groups.

@Liginity Doesn't seem to work on recent versions of Firefox (see https://superuser.com/questions/1676283/firefox-shortcut-for-opening-a-new-tab-near-to-the-current-t...)

 

Anyway, pushing +1 for a setting/keybind allowing this

@Liginity It looks like it isn't working on recent versions of Firefox (see https://superuser.com/questions/1676283/firefox-shortcut-for-opening-a-new-tab-near-to-the-current-t...)

 

Anyway, pushing +1 for a setting/keybind allowing us to "open new tab in the same group [as the current one]"

+1, minor adjustments

I'm not sure if this is an extension I forgot about or an existing feature, but when I right click a tab the first option is "new tab to right". I use multi-account containers in tandem with tab containers (since some of my activities require multiple accounts, like running my club requiring my school account and executive account). Using the new tab to right feature retains both the tab and account container of the original tab I right clicked. I would like this new keyboard shortcut to do the same thing as new tab to right, both with its physical placement and category membership.
