>>>   My Info:   Win7_64, Nightly 49, 32bit, ID 20160526082509
STR_1:
1. Open url [1]
2. Click on the page (not in iframe)
3. Middle-click on the place where "Reload current page" button was located just 0.1s ago

AR:  No visible action
ER:  Browser should duplicate the tab

Note:
 Because "Stop loading this page" button can appear randomly instead of
 "Reload current page", e.g. 0.1s before middle-click, and disappear right after that.
 It just randomly blinks on those fancy pages, preventing me from duplicating the tab.

I haven't managed to reproduce the issue on the latest Firefox release (51.0.1), on the latest Nightly (54.0a1) or Nightly 49.0a1 20160526082509. After clicking on the page the tab's favicon show's the loading circle and after a few seconds "Page Loaded!" message appears inside the iframe. the "Reload current Page" button doesn't appear at all.

Since the reporter's account is disabled and I cannot reproduce, I will mark the issue as Resolved-Incomplete. If anyone can still reproduce on the latest Firefox version, please feel free to reopen and provide more information.

After further investigation, the issue is indeed reproducible. Middle clicking the "Stop loading this page" button (the "x" in the URL bar) doesn't do anything. 

I've also went as far back as Nightly 7.0a1 and the issue is reproducible there as well.

In my opinion, I don't see why you would want to stop the page from loading in a different tab. This works for the "Reload current page" button because that means you reload the page in a different tab, keeping an older version of the page and having a "new" one in a different tab.
