I do a lot of tabbed browsing, but occasionally I'd like a page I already have open in a tab to be moved to a window by itself. 

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.  ;)
