How do I open a new window (cmd + N) on the current page (url) NOT my homepage?
Before I updated to firefox 28, I was able to hit cmd + N and it would open a new window with the exact same webpage I was on. Now it opens a new window with my homepage. I'm assuming I had an add-on or extension, but I am desperate to be able to do this again. Ideas?

When use cmd + T , I get a new tab with 9 windows to choose from. I want it to open to my current page. Also, I don't want a new tab, I want a new separate window, like you would create through using cmd+ N.

Yes!!! Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for!
This is an oversight by the developers of the latest FireFox revision: a great shame, as the overall feel of the browser has patently been improved.
Xabolcs has come up with a nice fudging idea; if it were to work; but sadly it doesn't for me....
As mentioned by MGprof, the latest version of FireFox (May'14) now opens one's "homepage" instead of a new blank window. As my "homepage" is almost a dozen tabs; this is worse than useless. It's like starting FireFox again; and then having to close a whole string of unwanted tabs!
To compound my frustration, the "move to a new window" option disappeared on another recent FireFox "upgrade"; but I managed to get round that by copying an url from a tab, then opening a new blank window, to paste the url into.
So, is there any possible way to open a new window in this latest version of FireFox?
I just want to be able to open a new FireFox window; and I'd be happy with it being either blank, or duplicating the url of a currently-showing tab.
This would allow view of one trimmed-size webpage in front of another one, showing in a selected tab in my normal-use multi-tab window: useful when comparing complex images, for example.
I have just installed the above-recommended "duplicate-2-window"; but can't make it work for me.
I've assumed "no-restart-necessary" claim is correct; but using cntrl+N, I now get a new blank TAB!
I'll try rebooting next, and post here again if that improves the situation; but don't hold your breath!
Meanwhile, if the developers are watching out for feedback..................................... please sort this, by putting back the "open a new window" option: I do NOT want to have to use Gugl-Krohm!
