Just like I said in the subject line. I wish middle mouse button click opened a new tab with the current page, but refreshed. That's because sometimes it's useful to keep a few versions of the page with the same URL, in case content changes.

One can already get this behavior by holding ctrl and dragging a tab into free space on the tabbar. But I think that MMB click on the "circular arrow refresh button" would integrate well for example with the back/forward buttons.. Try to click one of these with the middle mouse button and you'll see what I mean.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the "refresh button" on the main toolbar.
Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
A copy of the current tab should appear on the tabbar, with refreshed content.
