Firefox Keyboard Shortcut To Duplicate Tab

[Pinkie Mclucas]

Ihad been able to do this, but I can't remember if an Add-on was necessary? I already know that middle-clicking on the refresh button next to the url address bar copies the current tab along with its history.

If you are ok with switching to the tab first, this simple key combination will work wonderfully.

CtrlL orAltD (sets focus to the address bar) then AltEnter to open the address in a new tab.

I have used 'control+g' as shortcut for duplicate tab in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Reason for using control+g is that this combination is not used anywhere as mac os keyboard shortcut Screem shot from my mac

Hello,

Is it possible to add the functionnality:

Paste in new tab ?

and the option to use Keybord Shorcut for new tab and duplicate ?

(+ maybe icon as in this add on

-and-go-key/

witch is not compatible with FF 57)

Best Regards,

David

I can add keyboard shortcuts for them but the keyboard shortcuts are already very crowded and the way WebExtensiosn work is that in case of overlap (from Firefox or other addon) only 1 will be initiated so there is no guarantee that it will work, which will be annoying.

It would be tremendous if I could customize the menu items. For example I know I will use duplicate tab frequently, so I would rather have that in the main context menu as opposed to under Foxy Tab. Please investigate that.

I think "Copy Without Formatting" would be a completely new feature. What Firefox normally does is to place multiple formats on the clipboard, including HTML and Text, which allows the receiving application to choose what it wants to paste. You could create a new post on the "Ideas" side of this site (if it doesn't exist already) about adding "Copy Without Formatting" to the menu and/or as a keyboard shortcut.

Until then, if you just want to override Ctrl+Shift+C, you could try an add-on I created for someone a while ago. Please note that it only works in pages where Firefox allows add-ons to inject scripts. It can't work on protected sites or in the toolbar/sidebar area.

When they going to fix the copy and paste in Firefox? This has been on going for months now. When it does let me copy, then there are times when it will not let me paste. If I paste it to windows notebook and re-copy it it will then let me paste. I have cleared the cache, disabled add-ons nothing seems to help. The only thing Haven't tried yet is to uninstall Firefox and re-install it.

There are privacy guides (and user.js files) that recommend that change so sites cannot detect when you copy or paste. But they tend not to tell you about breakage on heavily scripted sites that can result from the change...

In a second step, if you wish

Go to about:profiles

Then

Your old profile ***, go to Root Directory [Open folder]

Explorer will open in the profile folder

Your newly created profile, go to Root Directory [Open folder]

Explorer will open in the profile folder

Then shut down Firefox

One difference between copying from a page in Firefox and copying text in Windows Notepad is that Firefox typically puts both HTML code and text on the clipboard, and Notepad only puts text on the clipboard. Maybe this is a clue to figuring out why pasting isn't working consistently (some issue with the HTML Firefox is pulling off the clipboard).

Generally speaking, uninstall/reinstall can't fix problems caused by settings. One method to rule in/out an issue with settings or add-ons is:

New Profile Test

This takes about 3 minutes, plus the time to test your problem site(s).

Inside Firefox, type or paste about:profiles in the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it.

Take a quick glance at the page and make a mental note of which Profile has this notation: This is the profile in use and it cannot be deleted. That is your current default profile.

Click the "Create a New Profile" button, then click Next. Assign a name like Test2024, ignore the option to relocate the profile folder, and click the Finish button.

Firefox will switch your default profile to the new one, so click the Set as Default Profile button for your regular one to avoid an unwanted surprise at your next startup.

Scroll down to Test2024 and click its Launch profile in new browser button.

Firefox should open a new window that looks like a brand new, uncustomized installation. (Your existing Firefox window(s) should not be affected.) Please ignore any tabs enticing you to connect to a Sync account or to activate extensions found on your system to get a clean test.

Does copy/paste work any better in the new profile?

When you are done with the experiment, you can close the extra window without affecting your regular Firefox profile. (Test2024 will remain available for future testing.)

Symptoms are that copy and cut via the right click menu or the keyboard shortcuts don't actually copy anything to the clipboard (cut does delete the selected text). Copying from another program and then pasting into Firefox works. `dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled` is set to `true` (just had to manually type that config key after reflexive copy-paste failed...). I tried the fresh profile suggested by jscher2000 (just had to manually type the username...) but the issue persists.

The last time this happened a few weeks ago, it went away when I restarted my computer. Sorry, but I'm not going to reinstall Firefox or refresh and reconfigure all my add-ons every few weeks. Improved add-ons (especially the ability to have them on mobile) was why I switched in the first place.

I just hit this problem again. cut and paste stopped working when using Google Docs with Firefox. I've got Firefox 126.0.1 on Linux Mint. I try to copy the name of a Google Doc and paste it as the title, and I get the window that uselessly tells me that cut and paste from the menus are disabled, but I can use Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v (which I can't because I get the same error window when I use them).

I really want to use FireFox because i like the community software model and FF's better privacy features, but I am going to have to go back to Chrome until this is fixed. I see Internet posts going back years about this problem. I as a user need this fixed so it will stay fixed.

Yes, I know Firefox is a free product supported by volunteers, but I also know that if I was a volunteer programmer who worked on the update that intentionally or unintentionally (my bet is on the former, something to do with content protection?) had brought about this outrage, I wouldn't sleep until it had been fixed or at least EXPLAINED (e.g. "we're being sued over not preventing subversion of copyright protection, so we were forced to do this").

I suppose Mozilla might have been forced to agree to not only disabling the most direct way of copying text, but to sign an NDA that they will not disclose the lawsuit or their requirement to comply.

Having this same issue, its exactly as described and its been ongoing for months, I have several add-ons ublock Origin and Bitwarden, also the Dark Reader addon which was added long after this issue started happening.

The description is correct, not sure what triggers it but you go to copy some text from a page and on right click you have a greyed out copy button, only recently found out that clicking in the address bar resolves it, which is that the text remains selected, you click the address bar then right click the already selected text you want to copy again and it allows you to copy it.

Personally I have no desire to move off of firefox or to another browser but when recommending firefox to others this is certainly a downfall I would mention at the moment as initially it was annoying but for how long this bug has been present its now extremely frustrating.

Yes I realize you can use keyboard shortcuts but why this a workaround at best, I would compare to not being able to make a phone call with you mobile phones normal speaker and mic but it works just fine if you use a Bluetooth headset.

Not sure if it is the same, but when I load a new tab and navigate to a page, the context menu's "Copy" is disabled until I click outside the page (I've used the address bar and search bar) and back in. Once clicked back in, the context menu entry is no longer disabled.

With each of the frequent updates I've been hoping this gets fixed but if anything it seems to have become worse rather than better. This should be a high priority for the dev team, it's infuriating for users.

I wanted to confirm that the keyboard shortcut using CMD + SHIFT + P with Firefox ( I use the developer edition but same issue) is an issue as it open a new and separate window for the browser. This issue has been confirmed by many Bricks users at this point.

In Gnome Desktop on Lucid, I had it configured so that using the Ubuntu system keyboard/mouse, I could use Win+C/Win+V to copy and paste everywhere on the Gnome desktop, including in Firefox and gnome terminal; then when I moved the mouse to my Mac desktop*, the same keystrokes would copy and paste. I would really like to keep this consistency.

Now to interrupt a program you've to type ctrl+b instead of ctrl+c, but you can go ahead and remap the terminal shortcuts. Once this is done, you can use consistently Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v to copy and paste text across the system.

If you have an external keyboard connected to your iPhone or iPad, you can use keyboard shortcuts in 1Password. To show a list of shortcuts available at any moment, press and hold the Command key on the keyboard.
