move tab to another window

[j-pee]

hi,

I know it sounds hopeless to even identify which "other window" one would get her/his tab moved to....
But it is actually a simple thing....
Plus you could make some restrictions like it wouldn't work when there are more than say, 6 windows 🙂

I have this all the time: I want to move my tab, but I can only copy and paste its URL...
It's pretty hard to keep up (some type of) "order" like this 🙂

If we could move our tabs to existing windows, life would be an even better thing! 🙂

thanks if you even consider

Peter

Chrome has this feature and it's very convenient.

previously I have always been able to move my tabs (left-right in the top bar) in the firefox window that is open, and between windows.

Now it suddenly doesn't work anymore, and that's a MAJOR problem for usability and just getting things done efficiently.

I can however a bit 2004-fashion open a menu and select 'move tab to the end' or 'move tab to the beginning' - but that is mostly not what I want, and more importantly it's really slow and annoying to have to go into a drop down menu and select an option from even further below in the tree structure.

Please undo this 'downdate' - it was perfect before!

I am totale agree. I hope that the update of firefox will integrate that, asap.

I have no idea why the functional method of grabbing the tab and hauling it to another position, another window, or a new window of its own was replaced with the less intuitive, less useful, and less effective business of right-clicking the tab and choosing "Move to start" (left end), "Move to End" (right end) or "Move to New Window" but I can tell you it is quite annoying.
