When "Open new tab" button is placed in default location, dragging a tab over it does not duplicate that respective tab, but instead places it last in the tab bar. (Litmus Testcase ID #12800)  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a few tabs
2.Drag one on to the new tab button

Actual Results:  
Tab is dropped last in the tab bar.

Expected Results:  
A duplicate of that tab is opened.
Whiteboard: [4b9]
Does it work when you drop it in the middle of the new tab button?
No, it does not work. The only way to make it work is to change the default position of the "New tab" button.
Confirmed. If I drag the new tab button out of the tab strip onto the navigation bar or add-on bar dragging a tab onto it does duplicate the tab but without the tab history of back/forward.
Does it also happen for tabs on bottom?
Yes, same behavior with tabs on bottom.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Keywords: regression
It even doesn't work for me with Firefox 3.5.x on OS X. Could be an issue which hasn't been worked since the new tab button has been changed. And I can't imagine that we do not have an already filed bug.

Please note that this is only the case when the button is placed onto the tabs toolbar. When it gets moved to another toolbar, the dropped tab will be duplicated.
Summary: Dragging tab over "Open new tab" button does not duplicate tab → Dragging tab over "Open new tab" button (located in tabs toolbar) does not duplicate tab
Shouldn't it do the same thing wherever it is positioned?

Yes, it has to. Just saying that we have a different behavior based on the position of the button.
