Steps to reproduce:

Steps to reproduce:

_Open firefox trunk.
_Open two or more tabs.
_Drag a tab to another tab position:
   While dragging, move the cursor slightly outside the tabstrip area, trying to continue the drag.




Actual results:

While you are dragging a tab and the cursor goes slightly from the tabstrip, the tab in question stops moving immediately.
    Considering that that the tabstrip is small vertically, this problem happens a lot, and cause it to lose the sense of smoothness that gives the drag and drop functionality and causes user frustration.




Expected results:

There must be a tolerance that allows to continue the drag of the tabs when the cursor is moved slightly outside the tabstrip zone.
