I propose that this is added to Firefox; Middle-clicking the back button should open a new tab/window with the original tab/window's history preserved in it, merely moved back one step to the previous page. This could also resolve bug 271851. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Middle-click the back button when history is present. Actual Results: History is not duplicated in the new tab/window. Expected Results: History should be duplicated in the new tab/window.
Version: unspecified → 3.0 Branch
Merely musing here; is it possible to base this in some way, shape or form on the session saving/loading code?
