Problems dragging an openned tab to a second monitor.

Normally when you drag a tab out of the tab bar it forms a new window with said page already loaded. When i patched to 10 beta this stopped working properly. A new window opens up without the bookmark bar, with the orange tab not at the top (instead there is a firefox mozilla sign which makes the spacing take up 2 tabs worth of space), and then the new tab that opens up does not have the page loaded. Also that tab that i dragged out of the tab bar stays where it was.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

"hardware acceleration" was already checked on. It didn't work :(

The intention is to disable hardware acceleration by removing the check mark as hardware acceleration can cause this issue. So try that if haven't done that yet.

I disabled "hardware acceleration" by removing the check mark. It did not solve the problem.
