What's more, it can happen more and more - if I will open new tab in the second window, it can divide to two again thus I have 3 ff windows Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open 1 location 2.While 1st location loading open new tab and try to load 2nd location 3.Do something - like mouse movements etc. - second tab can pop out Actual Results: Window with 2 tabs divides to 2 ff windows Expected Results: Keep beeing one window in any account.

It would be good to know which exact mouse movements you are doing here in step 3. Do you really not click a mouse button like an attempt to switch the tabs? How reliable is it to reproduce? Can you also reproduce it when running Firefox in Safe Mode (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode)?

You probably clicked on the icon, but didn't release the mouse button and then dragged your mouse downwards (into the content area) before releasing. That's is the gesture for detaching a tab into its own window, useful when you're maximized (dragging the the desktop, the normal gesture, is then impossible). It's not a real bug, but it can be annoying. I thought that there was a bug to undo this operation (to move the new window back into into its old place as a tab), but I can't find it back right now.
Well, yes, it doesn't appeared in safe mode - so it's probably because of some add-on. >You probably clicked on the icon, but didn't release the mouse button and then dragged your mouse downwards (into the content area) before releasing. No, it's not like this. It can happen even if I do no mouse movements >How reliable is it to reproduce? MMm, in my ff it can be like that: I open first location and before it load completely I click some link in this page - and second starts to load, and, even if I won't do any mouse movements it can pop out. But, as I said, it doesn't appear in safe mode, so its some add-on and not exactly ff bug I suppose. =)

Can you please disable your installed extensions step by step? That will tell you which of those is causing this problem.
First I disabled a Greasemonkey - tested on several sites several minutes - it still happened, but more seldom. I mean, I had opened 4-5 tabs and click on links inside tham - so, after 3-4 minutes of such an acting one tab finally pop out. (So, I found this situation "better"). Then I disabled NOScript - the same. It still pop out, but more seldom. Then I disabled Foxy SEO Tool 0.8.3 and it looks like tabs don't want to pop out anymore. At least, I tried to force ff work hard with new tabs and clicking links - no tab pop out

Reporter, are you still seeing this issue with Firefox 3.6.13 or later in safe mode or a fresh profile? If not, please close. These links can help you in your testing. http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles
