"Close Duplicate Tabs" is actually a really useful feature for some. My Firefox at work has dozens of tabs open at any given moment, mostly JIRA tickets, and it's very easy to have the same issue open in three different tabs when I'm constantly opening links from email, Teams, etc. I had looked into installing an extension to get similar functionality, but held off. I'm glad it's now baked into the software.

Close all other tabs is also pretty useful yet infuriatingly hidden behind another context menu... their ux sucks imho

Duplicate tab is my most useful. I like being able to maintain the history while starting a new tab

Tip: you can duplicate a tab by middle-clicking the refresh button

It is a manual function, not automatic. So best of both worlds. :)

you can "sort of" duplicate a tab by ctrl + clicking on the back button. I use that more than duplicating.

The problem is that duplicate tabs don't appear duplicate when they have different tracking params. Unless they somehow figured that out.
