Thanks for the tip about how to duplicate in FF but why should it take 3 steps when others only need 1? It's not that hard to add but it saves 2-3 seconds and makes a lot of people very happy. COME ON MOZILLA!!! Opera has a right-click duplicate tab, IE has a right-click duplicate tab that inherits history, chrome has right click duplicate tab, why doesn’t Firefox? Thanks for the tip about how to duplicate in FF but why should it take 3 steps when others only need 1? It’s not that hard to add but it saves 2-3 seconds and makes a lot of people very happy.

It doesn't work in Firefox 3.5.6 under Mac OS X 10.4.11. Any idea when Mac users will be able to use this functionality? A year later, they still have not fixed this for the Mac version.

So Ted you may have changed tthat yourself with keyconfig. Shift meaning the opposite: Ctrl+TAB is Next Tab, Ctr+Shift+TAB is Previous Tab kind of breaks down in this area but these are ALL built-in to Firefox. Ctrl+T is Open in New Tab. Ctrl+Shift+T is Undo Close Tab. Ctrl+W is Close Tab. Ctrl+Shift+W is Close Window. The documented shortcuts for "Duplicate Tab" extension are as follows Merge Windows Ctrl+Shift+M, Duplicate Tab to New Window Ctrl+Shift+N, Duplicate Tab (to New Tab) Ctrl+Shift+U Actually Ctrl+Shift+T is built-in to Firefox, nothing to do with Duplicate Tab.

While it's not documented, Cntrl+Shift+T executes a duplicate tab when using "Duplicate Tab". The documented key combo for that operation "Cntrl+Shift+U", which is nicer when using two hands.

Too bad we still need an (yet to be developed...) extension to be able to press for instance Ctrl+T (or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T) to clone the tab without needing to Ctrl+drag...

Cant find anything related to this feature in Bugzilla. The duplicate tab extension is great, but i would really want to see this funcionality as default in Fx3. Merging windows would also be great.

Good to see some of the functionality of the extension available Firefox 3. (tested in Fx 3.0b5pre) Features Ctrl+Drag tab to an empty tab position, between other tabs, immediately before first tab, or anywhere after the last tab. I hadn't even realized "Duplicate Tab" already had the feature with the Ctrl+Drag Tab for placement, so this may remain a bit obscure in Firefox 3.
