I have used Firefox for a long time. Just wonder why there is no such thing as duplicating a tab. This action is similar to Ctrl-N to duplicate a window.
With Firefox 3 (actually I am using 3.0.4 today), when you right-click on a tab, there is still no such feature. However, there is really a duplicate tab functionality in Firefox 3. All you have to do is to :
- Hold the Ctrl key
- Drag the tab left or right. While moving around, an arrow will appear when crossing the border of the tabs.
- Then, when you release the mouse button, the tab will be duplicated and inserted in that border.
- Now, the last thing to do is to un-hold the Ctrl key.
If you make the above steps in another sequence :
- Hold Ctrl key
- Drag around
- Un-hold Ctrl key
- release mouse button
(Noted that in Firefox 3.0.6, you can simply drag-and-drop the tab in order to move it.)
Now, my wonder is : why don't just make the whole thing more simple ? Maybe just right-click on the tab to pop-up a menu to choose [ duplicate tab ]. Then, simply duplicate the tab at the rightmost. This is far most user friendly than the existing Ctrl-key-drag method.
