Image to illustrate, "+24 tabs will help with choosingImage to illustrate, "+24 tabs will help with choosingImage to illustrate, "+24 tabs" is to help recognize needed window

I use at least 2 Firefox windows for work, those windows are placed on different monitors and different virtual desktops for ease of access, and kind of have different purposes (I suppose other people can group tabs using windows too).

The problem is that sometimes I need to move tabs from one window to another. Detaching a tab, opening multitasking view, moving tab to a different desktop and then attach it to the second window isn't the easiest thing.

There is an extension that helps with this - 'Tab Mover', but Firefox already has Move Tab menu, so I think that aside from moving tabs to start/end it could also offer to move them between existing Firefox windows, especially when it already offers to move tabs to a new window.

@marv1848 there's another request for naming windows here: 

User-Defined Name for Each Firefox Window on my Desktop 

Feel free to check it out, vote for the idea, and add any feedback in that thread 🙌

Plus 1.

Still need this option in Firefox.  Has been requested for over four years.  So hard to believe this is really difficult since the other browsers I use all seem to have this option already.  Thanks.

Same here, still waiting for this. It's shocking that it's not part of this. They even have Firefox View and they didn't think about allowing us to drag tabs between Windows there lol. Such a missed opportunity.

Firefox is improving a lot with tab groups and split screen (though it lacks compared to others - we need a button) so hopefully this is next! (Along with memory management, it's still bad).

Took ages for Mozilla to implement tab groups, so of course something even simpler like this takes just as long. Amen about piss-poor memory management too.
