- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14532405, 6 years agoInfuriating that this too-twitchy tab detach "feature" can't be disabled within Firefox, but this extension does a good job of minimizing the hassle. One star docked because it doesn't work with pinned tabs (as of version 0.0.3), which is kind of a big deal for me personally.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10078268, 6 years agoWorks well, and works as designed. Removed a star because it breaks on pinned tabs, then doesn't work again without restarting the browser. My work around is to no longer use pinned tabs at all.
Like others have said, would be great to have a way to disable this addon when you do need to detach a tab. I think a disable/enable button for the toolbar would be great. - Rated 4 out of 5by MrTom2000, 6 years agoThank you for this! Would be 5 stars if "Move to a new window" still worked for the occasional cases where I want to explicitly do that.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13118566, 7 years agoThis solves the accidental tear off problem, but also disables the right click "move to new window" option. I can live with that since I so rarely want to move a tab to a new window, but can't give the fifth star for that reason.

- Rated 5 out of 5by vadim s. sabinich, 7 years agoКак раз то, что нужно! Отлично справляется со своей задачей - возвращает вкладку на прежнее место, когда случай утаскиваешь её тачпадом (по умолчанию Firefox создаёт новое окно).
- Rated 2 out of 5by Felix E. Klee, 7 years agoUnstable. Sometimes just stops working, and then windows stay detached. Requires regular restarts of Firefox. Tested on Linux.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13365630, 7 years agohuuuuuge lifesaver for fixing an annoying "feature" that's a big accessibility problem for anybody who's not super great at using the mouse accurately/dextrously
- Rated 5 out of 5by Eric Oden, 7 years agoFixes the most annoying thing Mozilla refuses to see as a bug.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tawn, 7 years agoThank you!!! I seem to tear off tabs accidentally, and this puts them back pronto. Unfortunately, I can no longer move tabs to a new window at all now, without disabling the extension from Add-ons Mgr. I know webextensions are limited, so it's probably not possible to disable only tab tear-off and not other methods of moving tabs to new windows. Could you perhaps provide a toolbar button to enable/disable this extension, that we could e.g. place into the overflow menu for easy access on the occasional time we really do want to move tabs to a new window? (Or some other method to temporarily override the behavior.) That would make it perfect!
Developer response
posted 7 years agoLate response, but it's possible to differentiate between an attach to a new window vs an existing window, so I'll look at adding it as an option. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13503012, 7 years agoThanks! Finally. Can't believe it isn't a setting you can configure.
