Well, my default new tab is set to a blank page so I see a blank page. But
more to the point, I have FF setup to automatically open a link in a new
tab, an address typed in the address bar opens a new tab, search bar opens
a new tab, etc.

I don't manually open new tabs often because there's really no need to. I
can't ever remember wanting to open a new tab that had the same content as
one that's already open. I suppose there's a reason for it though, after
all you did ask about it... ;-)
