I’m fuckin sick of that crap! My tabs suddenly jump to another window and I dont fuckin know how do I do it! Stupid Firefox you were never “too much better” than IE… just “better” than IE! Really! I’m sick of this. These suckers just think people is ging to praise them for every idiocy the come up with, even activating it without user approval.

Thanks so much! NOW I understand why I keep getting random windows opening from my tabs. It’s annoying me to death. I wish I could turn it off. I do it accidentally, obviously. AT least now I know how to “put them back.”

Just drag the tab back from the new window back to the original window – aim for the tab bar :)

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 :)

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

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.
