Firefox 3 Duplicate Tab Without Extension

If like me you miss the duplicate tab extension from Firefox 2, this little tip might cheer you up:

Hold down [ctrl] then drag and drop an open tab onto the green + (or any free tab bar space) and you will clone that tab.

Unfortunately this doesn’t clone the history as well, so its not as good as the old duplicate tab, but at least it’s something and its fast.

I couldn’t work without Duplicate Tab.

If you are careful about which extensions you use, remove the extensions compatibility check…

• Type about:config into Firefox’s address bar
• Right-click anywhere. Choose New>Boolean. Make the name of your new config value
extensions.checkCompatibility and set it to false.
• Make another new boolean pair called extensions.checkUpdateSecurity and set the value to false.
• Restart Firefox.

Whenever you go to Add-ons, you’ll see a notice reminding you.

Another approach is to edit the extension’s installation file. Extract the XPI and edit the file called “install.rdf”:
