You can easily duplicate a tab in Firefox by holding the Ctrl key while dragging and dropping the tab on the tab bar.

The not-so-easy method would be to copy the URL (Ctrl + c), open a new tab (Ctrl + t), paste the URL (Ctrl + v) and hitting enter.

I am using Tab Mix Plus. It has a context menu item "Duplicate Tab Ctrl+Alt+T".

Still, great tip for normal FF3 users :)

One thing, you can drag and drop between two tabs only.

If you have only one tab, this won't work.
If the tab is the last tab, then drag and drop to the left.

@atoztoa,
Good find.
btw it will work for single tabs too. you just need to enable "Always show tab bar" from tools -> preferences -> Tabs pane.

Another way:

Click in the address bar
Press ALT-ENTER
Your current tab will be duplicated.
