STR: 1) On a Nightly build install SpinDoctor[1] 2) Tear a tab out of a window into a new window ER: No SpinDoctor "ping" sound AR: A SpinDoctor "ping" sound, meaning we showed a microspinner. This is happening because the tab we're dragging out goes away and then that window attempts to switch to the next logical tab to display, and because the previous tab has been closed, we fallback to showing a spinner. This is yet another variation of bug 1425887 - we show a spinner because we've closed a tab and started a switch, and we can't keep showing the layers for the closed tab.
