Fenix: [UX] [Bug] Open in New Tab should insert tab below current tab rather than above

[robsmith11]

Steps to reproduce

Open enough tabs so that the tab switching window is full and requires scrolling.

Open a link by long pressing and clicking "open in a new tab".

Go to the tab switching window. The new tab will be hidden because it's been inserted above the current tab, which is at the top of the screen. To switch to the new tab, one needs to first scroll down through the tabs.

Expected behavior

The new tab should be inserted below the current tab so no scrolling is required to switch to it.

Actual behavior

See above.

Device information

Firefox Nightly on Huawei Mate 20 X

• Android device: ?
  See above.
• Fenix version: ?

Thanks for the feedback. As far as I can see is the new tab inserted below the current tab. What's missing is, that currently FX Preview always renders from top and not with the current tab in view.

From UX: needs some consistency of where new tabs vs appended tabs should go (Fennec, iOS)

(Could we copy Fennec behavior by default?)

I vote for this.
It's a pita to have to go all the way up the screen to switch to a recently opened tab

It feels like this issue is a consequence of the tab sort order, which https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/11376 attempts to fix. I would rather fix https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/11376 and the issue filed here would no longer exist.

I agree this is sort of a duplicate of #11376
This, along with #12861 (that is more directed to Swiping gesture) and #10454 are all related, i believe.

Would be nice to have a metabug for all this related UX issues.

and would be good to close the apparent (lots of) duplicates of #11376 .
