I'll start: Opening new tabs all the way to the right or bottom, rather than next to the current tab. Its especially disorienting on vertical tabs, I lose track of which (I changed the setting but its still annoying on blank Firefox profiles).

Annoying as this may be for a subset of users, the option to enable it is nice. Forks inherit the capability. On Chrome and forks, this needs to be hacked around with an extension, or offered on a heavily customized (and usually just heavy) alternative like the closed-source Vivaldi.

Of course! Having it configurable is much better than not having it at all. In the really old days you needed an add-on for it in Firefox too, but luckily it's been an option for ages now.
