Why does Firefox not let me drag windows after a period of time?

It won't let me drag windows as suggested at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Tabbed%20browsing?s=drag+windows&r=0&as=s#w_moving-a-tab-to-a-new-window

The tab just remains in the same window.

If you have tab mix plus add-on disable it, exit firefox and restart it and try again.

I do not have tab mix plus, so this does not resolve my question.

Do you know what is causing this problem that prevents me from dragging tabs around?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
