I would like a generally unnoticed way to: 1)go to the referring page in the current tab -or- 2)switch to the referring tab 2b)open a new copy of referring tab if it was closed Not sure how this would be implamented into the UI. --Perhaps having the history drop down next to forward/back buttons have a entry for the referring page at the bottom of its list and active at all times--but keep the back button inactive when you are on the url the fresh tab was opened to. Reproducible: Always
This matter is not an issue and I don't consider it worth the implementation.
