Cannot open two tab with same site
Since last update to Firefox Dev Edition 60.0b1 (64-bit) I cannot open two tab of same site, (attempt to do so, returns me to first tab with this site) is it weird feature or bug? It is really problematic, because it often treats sub-folders as it is same site (for example www.site.com/cms, www.site.com/phpmyadmin), and in effect a cannot open necessary tools.

This is quite old feature. If next to the title you see switch to tab, you will be send to the first tab.

Could you describe the steps you are taking that lead to this problem? I would expect that directing a link or bookmark to a new tab (e.g., Ctrl+click or middle-click) would not trigger "Switch to Tab" but that may be suggested when you use the address bar.
Note that you can hold down Shift or Alt while the location bar drop-down list is showing to disable Switch to Tab and see the URLs.
Disabling 'switch to tab' solve my problem, however, i still don't understand if it is a old feature, why my problem occur after lats update? Whats more, it works in rather chaotic way, sometimes when i didn't want to 'switch to tab' i did it anyway, sametimes not, and as I wrote before, this subfolder 'switches' are incredibly problematic if you work on couple path of same website. Still i cannot find the situation, when this problem would occur every time, so i afraid i could be something more than 'old feature',
Hmmmm..... I've encountered something similar today. This actually might be bug 1439728, which will be fixed in the next beta.
