    In Firefox you can also middle click the reload button to duplicate the tab.

    Edit: other things you can middle click:

    • The back and forwards buttons: does, what the buttons do in a new tab, while duplicating the tab history.
    • The new tab button: open a new tab directly after the current tab (and in the same container as the current tab).
    • Items in the URL bar (such as autocomplete suggestions, the thing you just typed, or your frequent pages): opens them in a new tab (at the end though for some reason)

     

    You can also Ctrl+click all of these for the same result.

        I’m more of a Ctrl + Left-Click man myself. And yes, it’s because I fuck up the middle click 50% of the time and turn on page scrolling.

        And you can hide the close button by adding

        .tabbrowser-tab .tab-close-button {
  visibility: collapse !important;
}

        to your userChrome.css file. Works with vertical tabs too.

      No that’s the other way around. They are just so poorly programmed that they don’t use the normal mechanisms. Everything has to be reimplemented to work in that app. If you don’t think of a basic feature in the beginning, you have a very bad time. And since a lot of SPAs nowadays are programmed as “App”. They do not even have the concept of multiple tabs.

      I am using an open source tool where there is an open ticket for years to make opening a link in a new tab possible. But because of the multi platform framework it seems very much impossible to implement.

      This is the state of frontend development. Every few years they need to reinvent the wheel and sometimes they forget a place for the axle.
