One of the reasons why I absolutely love Mozilla Firefox is the fact that the system of tabs is so excellently implemented. At times I want to be able to copy a tab. There are two simple ways of doing this:
Method one: mouse
By simply holding down the Ctrl-button on our keyboard while dragging a tab (as if to relocate it) you instead create a copy of the tab where you drop the tab.
Method two: keyboard
Start by clicking Ctrl+L to activate the address bar. Then press Alt+Enter. This will copy the current tab to a new tab located at the far left of the list of tabs.

Reducing memory usage in Mozilla Firefox
If you’re like me, you use Mozilla Firefox as your preferred web browser. However, Firefox has one great weakness; its great love of RAM. I browsed around the web a bit, and found this workaround, which should help a bit at least. I have tried it, and it worked nicely for me.
What this workaround does is move Firefox to your hard drive when minimized, which results in Firefox taking up less RAM. Obviously, the amount of RAM taken up will increase when you maximize the window, but it appears to increase to less than it used to be, which could certainly be said to be an improvement.
The number one objection I have seen to this workaround is that people say that Firefx will take longer to maximize as the cache is located on the hard drive instead of in RAM. However, according to other bloggers out there, any delay is not noticeable.
Now, to the step-by-step:
