Chosen solution

Possibility to duplicate a tab

Here are two built-in features

  1. Ctr+drag the tab
  2. Use Ctrl+click on the Back or Forward toolbar button to bring up the page one back or one forward into a new tab

There is also a great extension: Multiple Tab Handler Right-click on the tab to bring up the tab context menu then choose "Duplicate Tab". It provides lots of features for handling multiple tabs: pinning a selection of tabs (app-tabs), pasting titles & urls in various formats. Closing selected tabs, or all tabs to the right/left. Closing tabs to the right is especially useful if using app-tabs.

Multiple Tab handler ( 74.8KB download) see my usage notes

If you want to test out the functionality of anything involving Tab use this test page. (the strange name is derived from my keyword shortcut to the page is "_")

If this solves your problem please mark as solved, once sure.
