When I duplicate a tab, a new tab is created with the same URL and I have to wait for it to download again. Why wouldn’t Firefox just duplicate all the data of the tab into a new tab?

    Modern websites are so complex and dynamic now it makes saving their state next to impossible.

    For a while I’ve been longing for something similar, but for going forwards and backwards in a tab. There’s been too many times when I hit back to look at something I missed, only to find it was some dynamically loaded element that changes when the page is reopened.

      That’s why I never just click on something, but always open new tabs, because otherwise it’s often impossible to return to a previous state.

      With apps, it’s even 1000X worse, because they don’t have tabs.
