I'm surprised FF hasn't done this natively like Safari. They pretty much added to 2.0 all of the good things TabMix previously provided for ff 1.5.

I just re-installed Tab Mix Plus, which I had previously installed in FF 1.5.

Once you set a few preferences, it provides 'Move to new window' (Ctrl+Alt+N) and 'Duplicate in new window' (Ctrl+Shift+N) options. If you are working in a form and move to a new window. it seems to maintain form state. (I tested it while entering this).

It appears to eat Ctrl+W, which I frequently use to close tabs, so I may have to learn a new shortcut.

I'll play with this for a while, I believe.

And YES I also want to be able to easily move a tab to its own window. I can't believe this doesn't exist.

(I bet there's some plugin that does it, gonna go look now).
