New background tab when many tabs are open

[darkred3]

Describe the bug

Just updated firefox from 113 to 116.0.3 and also updated this UI-Fix to the latest version but I'm now facing a small bug. When opening many tabs, at some point the tab bar becomes scrollable. When you now select the rightmost tab and open another tab in background, said tab does not become visible. Instead you have to manually scroll the tab bar to the right to make it visible.

Expected behavior

Expected behavior is that the tab bar automatically scrolls to the right so as to make the newly opened background tab visible. This worked until updating to 116.0.3 and the latest UI-Fix version.
