In Firefox you can also middle click the reload button to duplicate the tab.

Edit: other things you can middle click:

  • The back and forwards buttons: does, what the buttons do in a new tab, while duplicating the tab history.
  • The new tab button: open a new tab directly after the current tab (and in the same container as the current tab).
  • Items in the URL bar (such as autocomplete suggestions, the thing you just typed, or your frequent pages): opens them in a new tab (at the end though for some reason)

 

You can also Ctrl+click all of these for the same result.

Holy shit, I didn't know that. That's going to be so helpful.

You forgot the most important thing:

Links

Middle clicking a link will open it in a new tab which is what I mostly use.

I’m more of a Ctrl + Left-Click man myself. And yes, it’s because I fuck up the middle click 50% of the time and turn on page scrolling.

Also middle clicking on a tab will close it, no need to hunt for the little x.

Can i do it with ctrl+click or change the button? I may start to do that

And you can hide the close button by adding

.tabbrowser-tab .tab-close-button {
  visibility: collapse !important;
}

to your userChrome.css file. Works with vertical tabs too.
