Tabbed browsing is awesome, but a feature I sorely miss from Epiphany is for tabs to inherit their 'back' history. When opening a new, blank tab there is nothing to go 'back' to, so the button is ghosted out. However, when a link is told to 'Open in new tab' in Konqueror that new tab also starts off with a ghosted out 'back' button, even though it was linked to from another page. It would be nicer if this new tab had a working Back button which took the user to the page which linked to it, and the rest of the history before then.

For example:

Tab 1 is blank, no back functionality
User goes to linux.com in tab 1 via address bar, no back functionality
User goes to kde.org in tab 1 via address bar, back goes to linux.com
User tells a link to kde.org/example to open in new tab, tab 2
Tab 1 shows kde.org, back goes to linux.com, tab 2 shows kde.org/example, back goes to kde.org then linux.com

I hope I've explained myself clearly. Thanks

In the end it looks veery similar to this https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/28

I hadn't seen that, but it sounds similar to what I mean. When opening a link in a new tab, the current tab should be 'cloned' then the link followed in that clone.

I don't use Firefox unless I'm on a site which doesn't work in Konqueror, but I miss this from the days when I used Epiphany.

IMHO if implemented then this should be the default, since it's not losing anything, it's overwriting an empty history with a populated history.
