Whenever I go between different tabs, way to many times it keeps moving either the tab I just left from or the tab I'm clicking on into another window. I realize this is one of the new features of Firefox 3.5, but I think this feature is too sensitive. Basically, I think maybe an enhancement should be added to this feature. The enhancement can make it s that you have to drag the tab all the way to the bottom of the screen, outside of the window, and let go, so then to ensure that you want to move that particular tab somewhere else. I know you can do that, but I think that should be the only way to do it. Also, I DID notice that someone else had this problem, and it seemed that someone posted a patch with that. If my problem is the same, then can someone explain how I apply a patch someone posted to my Firefox application? 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click and hold mouse on any tab
2.Drag mouse anywhere below the tab bar (even about 1mm below it considering screen size, just anywhere the actual mouse is below the tab bar) and then let go REALLY quickly.
Keep in mind you have to have at least 2 or more tabs open.
Actual Results:  
It moves the tab to a new window.

Expected Results:  
Nothing
