ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 19

Hit Shift+Enter. Seems to work for me.

ANSWER 2

Score 5

I use the Switch To Tab No More add-on. It removes the "Switch to tab" option entirely, so you don't have to hit Shift every time you try to double-open something.

(That said, I probably would have never installed it if I had known about the Shift+Enter command Oliver suggested.)

ANSWER 3

Score 2

You can also hit Backspace at the front (or edit the url in any way and then undo).

Then the switch to tab disappears.
