Guys,

    I find myself repeatedly needing a "Duplicate Tab" option in the context menu when you rt-click on a tab. Say for example you have navigated from a link to a wiki page that needs input, but you would like to continue browsing from where you came from. If you are in the middle of an edit, you options are to quit editing and go back and re-open the wiki in a separate tab (to many clicks), create a new tab and fumble through history to find the link (again too many clicks), 

It would be very efficient to have a "Duplicate Tab" option so all that is required is a rt-click -> Duplicate Tab -> back (now that's clean)

Would be a great upstream feature to add.


Reproducible: Always

Think this should be an addon, in face, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/28 does this, but it is slightly outdated.

Note that you can middle-click the back button.
