It would be nice if the context menu for a tab had an option to open that page in a new Firefox window. Ideally it would retain any existing form contents... Whether or not doing that also closes that tab I leave up to the UI usability gurus to decide... Reproducible: Always
The idea of "rip off tabs" came up as a possible Firefox 3.1/4.0 feature at some point. Would be nice to be able to drag and drop tabs to create and transfer between windows.

Oh, and for what it's worth, Firefox 3 allows dragging tabs between already existing windows. I'd forgotten about that. ;)
