How do I Open a New Window to the Same URL?
When I click CTRL-N to open a new WINDOW, is there a way to have that new window open to the SAME URL as the one I was on (instead of opening to my Home Page)?

You can tear off a tab to a new window by dragging the tab slightly down, but that will remove the tab from the current window.
You can look at this extension:
- Duplicate 2 Window: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/duplicate-2-window/
- Clone It: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/clone-it/

Hi jpeg, Not exactly what you want but it may help.
You can right click a link or middle click it to open in a new tab, so that is an indirect method of duplicating a tab.
- Keyboard shortcuts - Perform common Firefox tasks quickly
- Use mouse shortcuts to perform common tasks in Firefox
A more direct method is to drag a tab with a Ctrl + Left Click Alt+Enter creates a new tab from the search or address bar.
It is possible to customise the newtab page. It is even possible to set it to any chosen URL, but I am not aware of a method of setting it a dynamic tab in current focus, which is what you may wish for.

Your suggestions are just what I was looking for. I picked Clone It, because it required no extra steps. It works perfectly.
Thanks!
