Can't clone a webpage by pushing Ctrl N
Hello, I have new computer with Vista. I use Firefox for the internet.
I used to be able to press Ctrl N, to open a new page but the new page was a clone of the current page I was on, which is what I want.

This used to work with XP. but can't make it work with Vista.

I can only open a new blank page now,
I need to be able to clone the page I am on.

I have tried to figure out on Internet Option which thing to click or unclick to make this happen.

I want to clone the current internet page EVERY time I open a new page.

Can someone tell me how to do this exactly?

Hi, I tried that, but I realize it says "when opening a New tab or New Page". and I don't want to really open a brand new page, but a Cloned Page with the same information, another copy of the current page. I used to Ctrl N and do this when I had Windows XP., but can't figure out how to do it on Vista. Any suggestions? Thanks.

PS to above message -

In my firefox "tabs" section, I only have the choice of that new pages be opened in a new window or a new tab. They are blank pages, not clone pages, like I want.

hmmm... it works on mine.

Not sure if its because I have the Tab Mix Plus addon

When I do Ctrl+Shift+N, it makes a clone of the webpage im looking at in a new window

If I do Ctrl+Alt+T, I can make the clone in a new tab

I think the idea of the add-on is the way to go.
