This happened after I updated to Firefox 8.0.1. Same problem with 9.0.1. I'm on a Mac running OS X 10.5.8. I have not changed any add-ons, plugins, extensions, or anything like that.

Every time a tab is dragged from my main window to form it's own new window, the tab button on the new window does not appear. I only have a + sign showing.

A tab will show when I open a new tab, but the original "tab" does not appear. The + sign also appears on the left side of all new tabs. Isn't it supposed to be on the right?

If I have 2 "tabs" open but only have 1 tab showing and try to close the window, Firefox asks me if I'm sure I want to close the 2 tabs.

Tabs when opening blank new windows work properly. Dragging a tab to an already opened window works fine as well.

Most of the time a tab is dragged out on accident, and it is quite annoying because I can't drag it back into the main window.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks!

I found the cause but no solution, it's actually a plugin that does that: divx plus weblpayer (it gets installed when you install DivX on your system), if you disable it and restart firefox it all works again. But I want that plugin... so DivX need to fix this, unless it is a Firefox bug in its own core... anyway these two together creates the problem.

(I'm running Firefox 9.x on OSX Lion)

I also wish firefox tab tear out tab worked more like chrome's tab tear out, much friendlier...
