On KDE, the standard behavior since 4.5 is that you can drag each window by grabbing any empty area.
On GNOME, themes can have a setting that allows windows to be moved by grabbing the menubar.

With Firefox 4.0, the tab bar is both the topmost toolbar (with default settings) and the only one which has empty areas, so we should be able to move the window by dragging the tab bar.

This should be easy to do since the same thing was already done for GNOME menubars. Does someone know why i can’t drag firefox by the menubar on KDE?
