When you drag a tab containing a PDF document rendered with the Adobe Reader plugin to a new window, the PDF document no longer renders.

Nothing in the error console. Using Firefox 3.1 beta 2 with Adobe Acrobat plugin v 9.0.0.332.

This is the PDF document I was having problems with, though I would imagine it's likely to happen with other PDF documents : http://www.hgst.com/downloads/dft32_user-guide.pdf

Issue may also possibly happen with other full screen plugin windows?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open PDF doc - http://www.hgst.com/downloads/dft32_user-guide.pdf
2. Drag tab to new window
3. Tab in new window no longer renders document

Can confirm that this issue seems to affect other PDF files and Flash SWF files also e.g. http://www.tv/master.swf
