I cannot find the 'duplicate tab' feature in Firefox 5. I used this feature a lot in 3, and I hope that I can find out how to do it again. Or that I can downgrade to 3.

Firefox 4 later use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.

You can also copy a tab by holding down the Ctrl key and dragging the tab left or right on the tab bar.
You can open the URL in the location bar if you use Alt+Enter.
