Drag Tabs Between Windows

planet_mir-4.jpgHey, here is a cool new tip I just found out about. Say you have two Firefox Windows open with both having multiple tabs. You can drag a tab from one Firefox browser window to the next. Here is a better description of the cool tab tip from the source:

Users who have tabs open in multiple Firefox windows can drag and drop tabs across separate browser windows. Using this technique you can consolidate all of your tabs into a single window. Keeping all of your tabs will make Firefox (and the rest of your system slower) but also let you make the most of a the “restore session” feature.

Thanks to Lifehacker and Be Lazier for the information.

    for me it just copies the current address, whereas I need to copy it together with its history!
  • Great tip, Mitch - I didn't know you could do this. Thanks!
  • Hello Bri, yes it does leave it in the old browser windows as well when moving between the two. :)

    I can't seem to get this to work as described. Doing this only copies the tab in the other window, not moving it to the new destination.
    Is that what y'all meant? What am I missing?
    I run Window$ XP home and FF 2.0.0.5.

    I like and use this tip often. Thanks for sharing.
