Just Discovered a unique feature in Firefox

[AZgl1800]

and I have only been using it for 20+ years.

I think it explains why I have sometimes found two running copies of FF

just now, I was reordering the open tabs.....
I grabbed the one on the far Right and slid it across to the Far Left, and oops, went off screen....

then I noticed that all of my "other tabs" had disappeared?? huh?
then the Panel informed me that there are Two copies of FF running.
yep, the new copy contains only that one tab that slid off the screen, and the 1st copy does not contain that tab anymore.

Miscellaneous Trivia for those who don't care to know it

You can grab a tab, move it down and let go to open it in a new window. It's quite handy if you're working on multiple things and need to focus on something. Just drag it to move it to a new window You can also drag tabs from one Firefox window to another.

What's the feature, being able to drag and drop a tab into a new window? That's no feature unique to Firefox, in fact I can't think of any tabbed browser that doesn't support this. You can also drag it back into your first window.

just one of those things I had never been doing, usually I move my mouse slow enough to drop the tab right where I want it....

but, this brings up the fact that it does work like that, and I do have several applications I like to have open at the same time..... I think this will be a good way to keep my Database Evernote open all the time, without it cluttering up my internet browsing.

never tried that before, super slick.... guess I just never messed with "out of the box" tabbing.

You can also right-click a link to open it directly in a new window. There's likely also a mouse-shortcut for that but I don't know it.

You can do this in xed also, probably many other apps that tab.

the Right Click on links is my favorite method, right click and touch 'T'
it is so much faster, and keeps house better.

The shortcut is clicking on the link with the mouse wheel. And if you click on a tab, it gets closed.

That's for opening it in a new tab in the same window, not in a new window. You can also Ctrl+Left click for that if you don't have a wheel button (e.g. touchpads).

Oh, sorry. I guess I can’t read well :D
I just checked to be sure though and it turns out that {shift + left mouse button} opens the link in a new window. And {alt + left mouse button} works as “save link as”.

Hah! I remember trying Shift+Middle click before posting I didn't know the shortcut, so it was Shift+Left click instead. Guess they forgot the other one.
