If you are a Safari user on Mac OS X, you may have noticed that it lacks a duplicate tab feature (such as the one in Google Chrome, when you right click a tab area).
Browsers such as Chrome include a Duplicate option on the tab context menu. When you select that option a duplicate tab opens on the tab bar. However, Firefox does not have a duplicate option on the tab context menu. Nevertheless, there's still a couple of ways that you can duplicate tabs in Firefox. You can add an option that duplicates tabs to Firefox with the Simply TabCopy add-on.
While it would be nice to have this added directly into Safari, you can use the following key combination to duplicate tabs currently:
- Open/Visit the tab you want to duplicate
- Hit the combos: Command + L and then Command + Return (or Enter)
- One thing I would check as well is the startup programs. You can find these by clicking start, typing in msconfig and press enter and hit the startup tab. Uncheck all the programs that don't need to be in there. If within that list you see an entry that looks odd, investigate it and it might be your virus, from there you can know where it is.
- To quickly open a link in a new tab on Google Chrome, hold down the control button while clicking on it with your mouse. On a Mac computer, hold down the command button rather than control.
The first combo selects the location bar in Safari, whose default behaviour is to select the fully available link. The second combo asks Safari to open the selected link in a new tab. Together, these help you duplicate an open tab’s link into another new tab.
P.s. This technique will not result in the duplicated tab carrying the history of previous pages as it does in Google Chrome. It merely opens the current page in a new tab.
