Whatever the web page, when i drag a tab before or after another one, the
content of the previous or the next tab (in the new order) is unreachable (that
means the main windows doesn't refresh when i click this tab).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.While in multiple tabs session, choose one tab
2.Drag it before or after another one
3.Clic on the previous or the next tab (in the new order)

Actual Results:  
The content of the previous or the next tab was unreachable

Expected Results:  
Refresh the main window with the tab content

Reversing the order modification makes the problematic tab reachable again

Does this occur if you start firefox in safe mode:

What do you mean by unreachable, if you select the tab again does its contents
display correctly?

Sorry for not being clear enough...I mean the content is unreachable when
clicking on the tab button.
I rarely use safe mode since this almost perfect browser has very few annoying
bugs ;-). Anyway, i did it on your advice and everything seems to be ok in this
mode, which means it may be an extension issue, though i don't have any
tab-related extension installed...
