Using:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0pre) Gecko/20110404
SeaMonkey/2.1b3pre

Having:

browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent;true

by default, opening link in a new tab opens the tab after the
current one. Opening links meant to open a new window, in a new tab
("diverted" links) - also the default, however opens the tab after
the last one:

data:text/html,<a
href="http://www.seamonkey-project.org/"target="_blank">Go</a>

data:text/html,<form action="http://www.mozilla.org/"
target="_blank"><input type="submit" value="Go"></form>

Trying the same with Firefox 4.0 opens the diverted links in a tab
after the current one, as expected. Is this difference a known
issue, intended behavior?

This is broken if the preferences automatically switch to the new tab...
please file a bug and CC me.
