When I click CTRL-N to open a new WINDOW, is there a way to have that new window open to the SAME URL as the one I was on (instead of opening to my Home Page)?

You can tear off a tab to a new window by dragging the tab slightly down, but that will remove the tab from the current window.

Hi jpeg, Not exactly what you want but it may help.

You can right click a link or middle click it to open in a new tab, so that is an indirect method of duplicating a tab.

A more direct method is to drag a tab with a Ctrl + Left Click Alt+Enter creates a new tab from the search or address bar.

It is possible to customise the newtab page. It is even possible to set it to any chosen URL, but I am not aware of a method of setting it a dynamic tab in current focus, which is what you may wish for.

Your suggestions are just what I was looking for. I picked Clone It, because it required no extra steps. It works perfectly.

Thanks!
