Hi,

In Firefox 68 and lower, the contextual menu on tabs lists "Move Tab > (to start/end/new window)" and "Send tab to device". I think it would make sense to be add a "Move tab > To window > (list of windows)" or "Move tab to window > (list of windows)" option, to be able to send it to one of the other open windows.

I tend to organize my windows by theme/activity (ex: one by study subject, or work project) and whenever I click a link outside of Firefox (ex: from my email client) it opens in the most recently-used window — which is oftentimes not the one it "should" be in.
Since I use my windows in fullscreen mode, it's a bit of a hassle to drag and drop the tab from one window. Moving it that way would be quick and easy.

Summary: Feature request: Sending tabs to other window → Feature request: Move tab to other open window

No activity on this in two years, but I would like to add a vote. I use at least two different windows to organize my work and dragging tabs back and forth is quite cumbersome. It would be great to right click and send to another open window (not a new window).

Chrome allows moving tabs to another window and also a "Name Window" feature so it is easy to select the correct window to send the tab to (also shows up in alt-tab).
