Rails, Firefox, Anime, Mac – Still working on the blog theme!

16 Nov 2008Completely by accident, I discovered that you can now drag a tab out from its current window to a new window in a recent Firefox nightly. A short video 24-second better explains what I’m talking about:
This tab tearing capability is a pretty neat feature – I know you can already do this in Safari, Opera and Galeon. It’s really well done in Safari, which I think is what Firefox is emulating. Nice to see Firefox follow suit!
If you can’t wait for Firefox 3.1, try it out in a recent Firefox nighty build (remember to use a new profile unless you are willing to risk corrupting your daily profile).

Actually, you can do that in Firefox 3.0 — at least in Windows. I’ve not tried it in Mac or Linux yet, but I just did it in Firefox 3.0 for Windows yesterday.

This feature was available on FF2.0 as well. Nothing new here.

Actually this is a new feature. You may have some extension installed that allows this. See http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2008/11/firefox-31-gets-tab-tearing/ for more info :)
