I *so* knew it.

I knew that this feature in Firefox 3 just had to been in there somewhere.
I was killing myself trying to find it though, ever since I upgraded to FF3 I’ve been missing this: how the heck do I open a copy of an already open tab? There was a keyboard shortcut that I can’t remember (from me repeating the key combo ad infinitum, has fogged my memory.)  It’s one of those little frustrations that you run into on a daily basis that I just knew had to be in there; my Google-Fu was weak and I simply gave up on finding the right keyboard shortcut, and believe me I tried every combo of CTL+ALT+SHIFT+TAB+WTF!
Then while cruising Reddit today I came across this entry:
Firefox 3 features you may not know
And there it was, top of the list:

1. To duplicate tabs press Ctrl  while dragging a tab to create a duplicate of the dragged tab including its history.

So thank you very much Feel Firefox, Mozilla Links, that’s one (unfortunately of many) minor irritations that threaten to set me off on a daily basis.

UPDATE: Apparently FeelFireFox was lifting content from Mozilla Links - naughty naughty. Link fixed.

Hi I just wanted to let you know that the blog you linked to in this post, feelfirefox.net, is stealing content from my site: http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2008/07/firefox-3-features-you-may-not-know/

I’d appreciate if you can update the link. Thanks!
