I use Chrome any time I do research online because browsing is that much more fluid. It's 2017 guys- can we get this?

Hi

I recommend that you have a look at this add-on that may help with this issue. There is also this one that is expected to be compatible with the next full release of Firefox.

It is not too difficult to duplicate a tab in Firefox.

  • hold Ctrl (Mac: Command) and left-click or middle-click the Reload button in the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab (i.e. duplicate the current tab)
  • hold Ctrl (Mac: Command) and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the back/forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab
    You can hold down the left mouse button on either Back or Forward button to open the tab history
  • duplicate a tab with its history by holding down the Ctrl key (Mac: Option key) and dragging the tab to a new position on the Tab bar
  • dragging a tab in the browsing area will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing
  • drag a tab back to the Tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window (an empty window is closed automatically)
