Summary

Tab Mover is a Firefox Addon for quickly moving tabs between windows via the context menu. It can move tabs between two normal windows, two windows in incognito mode and from a normal window to an window in incognito mode. Since it is not possible to directly move a tab from a window in incognito mode to a normal window, Tab Mover can optionally close such a tab and reopen its URL in a normal window.

I HAVE 27 FF WINDOWS across 18 Virtual Desktops and this works almost perfectly. It's always reliable. Just a couple of issues to watch: 1) if you select the top tab in a nest, the entire nest will be moved. 2) The "move to" context window lists all 27 windows, but the list order is "as created" and tough-lucksky trying to find your window. So Guido - that's one feature update that would be worthy of a revisit. THANKS.
