It would be better if dragging a tab outside of the window caused the contents of the tab to be rendered in a new window. Having he page reload would not be ideal. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox, open a second tab. 2. Left click and drag the tab outside of the window. 3. Notice that the URL referenced by the tab is now a shortcut on the desktop. Expected Results: The tab should detach and become a new window.
