This can very useful if you have drilled down several pages in a website and just need to clarify something earlier , without reloading the website from scratch on another tab

Hi   !

What I always do is copy the URL of that page and paste it wherever I want to save it for later.

You could also bookmark that page.

Or:

Don't know if this will do the trick, but maybe you'd like to give this add-on a try :

Hi Happy

Should have thought of the copy and paste !!

I'll take a look at the add-on a bit later

Thanks very much for your help

It is not too difficult to duplicate a tab in Firefox or move a tab to a new window (tear off feature).

  • hold Ctrl (Mac: Command) and left-click or middle-click the Reload button in the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab (i.e. duplicate the current tab)
  • hold Ctrl (Mac: Command) and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the back/forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab
    You can hold down the left mouse button on either Back or Forward button to open the tab history
  • duplicate a tab with its history by holding down the Ctrl key (Mac: Option key) and dragging the tab to a new position on the Tab bar
  • dragging a tab in the browsing area will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing


you can also find a "Move to New Window" item in the right-click context menu of the tab on the Tab bar

  • drag a tab back to the Tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window (an empty window is closed automatically)

Hi
