Can anyone help with a hopefully SIMPLE problem?
When I click on an unvisited link with the MIDDLE, to open a Duplicated tab, the link doesn't change color to show that it has been visited. The last version it worked for was 0.7.3
And it is no longer compatible with the newest release of firefox today.

Hi EddieHu,
This is a bug in Duplicate Tab, I wasn't aware of yet. So thanks for reporting. It slipped in when I made Duplicate Tab compatible with the extension Reveal (Page 6 from this thread and onward).
I guess the problem where people get an empty page in Firefox 2.0 when opening a link in a duplicate tab, is also caused by the code needed to be compatible with Reveal. If I can't find a solution for both problems without loosing compatibility with Reveal, I will have to drop that compatibility.

Try checking for updates for Duplicate Tab in the add-ons manager. It should be compatible now.
Thanks,
Twanno

Ah, I totally forgot about javascript console.
It shows warning and then error:
reference to undefined property currentWindow.navigator.userAgent.split("(")[1]
Source File: chrome://duplicatetab/content/mergewindows.js Line: 629
Looks like not many people will run into this issue. I have had "general.useragent.override" set to simply "Firefox" since a long time ago. I just commented the platform checking in line 629, and merging works again.
Thanks for your time.

Request for Enhancement
Hi Twanno,
This is a great extension! I like the merging and the history cloning.
I also do most of my browsing with keyboard navigation. It would be great if, when a tab is duplicated, the focus was returned to the page that is being browsed instead of being on the text in the address bar.
That way one could continue browsing using the arrow keys or page up and page down keys, without finding the mouse and clicking down on the page just so the navigation keys work for browsing again, instead of just in the text entry box for the address.
This is not a bug in the extension. I'm just saying it would make keyboard navigation easier. Maybe there could be a switch for where you would like the focus to end up after duplication?
Thanks for making this extension. I'll continue to use it!

I'll definitely try to find a good way to implement this. A switch is a good suggestion.

Request: Replace "Open Tab in new Window" as stand
Hey,
Thanks for this great extension! Often times I open new tabs with Ctrl + Click or with a middle click of my mouse. Would it be possible to automatically duplicate the tabs I open this way? This would really make this extension perfect!
Regards
Toeb

If you are talking about Ctrl+clicking or middle clicking on links, that is already an option in Duplicate Tab: go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Select Duplicate Tab in the extensions list and click Options. There is an option called "use middle click to open links in a duplicate tab" check it to make it work.

Thanks for the quick response! Worked very well. Now the only thing I'm missing is that even those web pages, that open links in a new window (target="blank") will also take the history of their parent tab with them

from http://twanno.mozdev.org/duplicatetab/ , introduction - last section:
Further more Duplicate Tab allows you to open a link in a duplicated tab. This option is available in the context menu of a link. The current tab is first duplicated, along with its history, and then the link is opened in that duplicated tab.
You can also open a link in a Duplicate Tab by Ctrl + middle click on the link, while ctrl + shift + middle clicking a link opens the link in a duplicate tab in a new window. If that is a too uncomfortable way to open a link in a duplicate tab, there is also an option which allows you to just middle click on a link to open it in a new tab. Setting this option also opens a link in a duplicate tab by ctrl+clicking on it and shift+clicking will open the link in a duplicate tab in a new window.
No links are automatically opened in duplicate tabs.
Do you want any more information?
And how do you like my response time now?
