I recently migrated from Google Chrome to Firefox, and so far I like it. I want to be able to drag tabs like in Chrome but in Firefox, add-on or not. With Chrome, when you left click on a tab and move it vertically, the tab minimizes so that you can drag it into another instance of Chrome. However in Firefox, if I have two instances of Firefox running and want to take a tab into the other, when running fullscreen, you can't view the other instance. I tried looking for an add-on to the best of my ability but I had no luck.

Firefox does this sort of thing by default.

Tabs will

  • drag from one window to another see additional notes under
  • drag along the tab bar to another position
  • on to the desktop to create a shortcut
    • but to do that you drag the icon from the location bar not the tab
  • open in a new window, to do that drag them down or use a right click option.
    • note move to group option also from right click

You say

I assume that you mean you have two separate Firefox windows open (slightly different from two instances of Firefox)

  1. reduce the size if you wish to move tabs between the two windows
  2. drag tabs from one to the tabs bar of the other, and insert it between or adjacent to an existing tab
  • note it is not possible to drag the last tab off a window. A window needs at least one tab (open a new blank tab as a workaround if you wish to move the last remaining tab)

Please post back with how you get on. It may be a little confusing using a new browser and I am not sure if I have explained the things you need to know or not.
