365044 - tab dragging with control key

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 298571

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Biju]

MS-Windows convention when pressing control key while dragging something is to copy the dragged object.

But pressing control key while dragging tab (tab rearrange) shows "+" but it will not duplicate the tab.

Steps:-
1. run firefox
2. open multiple tabs say cnn.com, yahoo.com, google.com, bbc.co.uk
3. start dragging tab of yahoo.com 
4. press control key while continue to drag
5. user see mouse drag icon changes to one with "+"
6. drop dragging after google.com tab
7. user see tab order changed to 
   cnn.com, google.com, yahoo.com, bbc.co.uk

expected result
a. user should see, a duplicate tab added for yahoo.com
   to with tab order as
   cnn.com, yahoo.com, google.com, yahoo.com, bbc.co.uk

or

b. on step 5 icon should not change to "+"
