Moderators nukecad Posted April 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2017 If you middle click the 'refresh' icon on the address bar in Firefox it opens a copy of the current tab in a new tab. It a feature that is not well documented and AFIK it's the only way to do this quickly in Firefox. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

(mice?, whatever) for years for that very reason. and if you get a mouse with the middle button as a wheel, you can tilt it left and right to do all manner of lovely stuff on docs, web pages and many more. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2017 and if you get a mouse with the middle button as a wheel, you can tilt it left and right Not all mice with that middle wheel button have left/right clicking ability. I had to learn to stop trying to use that feature I had gotten used to with some pricey wireless Microsoft mice (now I only use Belkin USB wired mice) because I was breaking less expensive mice one after another that didn't have that feature.

True confession. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Moderators nukecad Posted April 27, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2017 In Chrome you right-click on the tab and then click Duplicate.
