I often need multiple instances of the same page open at the same time. I write pages that run complex php/javascript tasks and I need multiple instances open concurrently. The new default ( the latest version of firefox) does not seem to allow this and take you to a previously openned window with that url so assumes that people are just viewing information on a page which is a vast oversimplification of the use of the web. How do I revert to the previous default behaviour. If I want a page that I already have open I always find it for myself thanks. It is a pity that this new behaviour is enforced rather than an option given for enabling it.

Thanks very much

If you try to open the same URL in more than one tab then you may have the "Switch to tab" feature preventing that.

Hold down the Alt or Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to tab" and see the URL of all entries instead.

  • Alt + Enter opens the highlighted URL in a new tab.
  • Shift + Enter opens the highlighted URL in the current tab.
  • Cursor Right copies the highlighted URL to the location bar in case you want to edit it.
