In Firefox, I find myself duplicating tabs for various reasons, but it's only possible with the mouse. I like controlling Firefox functions with the keyboard, as it's more convenient for controlling from a remote keyboard than a mouse sometimes (Maybe I'm just weird). I would appreciate a keyboard shortcut for duplicating the current tab, staying on the first tab if possible ("When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is unchecked, but it still switches to the new duplicate).

Further to my last post, instead of pressing ctrl+L you could press alt+D to focus the address bar.

 

Then 'duplicating' a tab would be achieved by pressing alt+D then alt+enter.
Or holding down alt then pressing D then enter.

Hopefully Duplicate Tab will be implemented within the new customizable shortcuts feature!

Assigning a shortcut to "Duplicate Tab" in about:keyboardt should become available with Firefox 151.
