Especially useful for these amazing multi-monitor setups when it's too annoying to drag tabs around between windows.

Quick feature list

  • the source tab position is saved in all windows, so if it's moved back into a window, it moves into its original position
  • multiple tabs move - select multiple tabs (use shift or cmd/ctrl) and move all of them into the next window in the same order
  • if the tab is active, it will become active in the new window
  • if the tab is inactive, it will stay inactive in the new window
  • if there is only 1 window, a new window will be opened on move
  • keyboard shortcut support

User reviews

When trying to install this the addons.mozilla.org page says "Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt." As others say, many add-ons were broken since some Firefox versions in 11x.0 (I guess version 115.0)

Thanks so much for this great add-on! I have a question though: what is the keyboard shortcut?
