Firefox is a great browser – it features tabbed browsing, a multifunctional search box, and extensive customization options, none of which Internet Explorer has in its current iteration, version 6. But one thing that Internet Explorer does better out of the box is that when you open a new window from the File menu, the site you are currently on and all your recent browsing history are cloned into the new window. This way, you can go back to an earlier site and still stay on the current one in the original window.

However, Firefox users can have this great feature too. There is an extension for Firefox called Duplicate Tab that will allow you to right-click on any open tab and duplicate it, browsing history and all, to a new tab. You can even open a current tab in a new window, great for if you have Firefox set to use a single window but want to copy information from one site into a form on a different site.
