No matter what I do with the settings I cannot open a duplicate tab of the same url that I have a tab open for. I used to be able to right click and click on duplicate tab. That option is still there so why can it not be used?

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.

Firefox doesn't have a "Duplicate Tab" menu item. That feature is provided by an add-on; if it no longer does anything, then the add-on no longer works.

Try Clone It.

Without an add-on, you can

  • Middle-click the Reload button (on the right side of the address bar).
  • Hold down the Ctrl key, then click and drag a tab to a new position on the tab bar.
