Tabs Open Relative

So after switching to Firefox 3 beta, I found that a lot of my extensions no longer worked, which I expected. What I didn't expect was how much I'd miss the invisible extensions. These are the extensions that don't require any configuration, don't have to be triggered by any buttons, don't show up in the interface; they just work.
I could get used to losing "Colorful Tabs", and have my tab bar be a dull monochromatic gray. It was losing Tabs Open Relative (and Submit to Tab) that I've found really irritating, because there are no visual indicators that they no longer work. I only find out/remember when I try to open a new tab, and find myself at the end of the tab bar, not beside my current tab. Just a few minutes ago, I restarted Firefox (because I keep forgetting that the RTE pop-up windows won't work with Firefox 3 and I can't close that pop-up otherwise), clicked on a link... and it opened beside my current tab.
I feel so incredibly happy! This is almost better than if the Web Developer toolbar had been updated -- almost.
