Is there anything in Firefox equal to Ctrl-n in IE?

Question

Would there be a shortcut or extension that I can download that has the same function as Ctrl-n in Internet Explorer? The function that opens up the page you're in with past pages in a new tab?

Thanks for all the answers, but I'm looking for a shortcut that will open the current page in a new window/tab while still retaining all the links in the back button.

Mozilla Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts


This is a list of the most common keyboard shortcuts in Mozilla Firefox.
If you have enabled Emacs-style text editing shortcuts
in GNOME, they will also work in Firefox. When an Emacs text
editing shortcut conflicts with the default shortcuts (as occurs with
CtrlCmd+K), the Emacs shortcut will take preference if
focus is inside a textbox (which would include the location bar and search
bar). In such cases you should use the alternate keyboard shortcut
if one is listed below.

Answer 2

I'm not sure that I understand what you want it to do.

In IE7, Ctrl-E just opens the sidebar for search.
In FF, Ctrl-E will open your search page. There isn't a sidebar for searching in Firefox, as most people search directly from the address bar.

There are a number of extensions you could use that might give you a search sidebar though.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Firefox - Ctrl+T (New Tab) or Ctrl+N (New Page)

Answer 4

CTRL+T - New Tab
CTRL+N - New Firefox window
