Cannot move tabs in the tab bar

I often have many tabs up at a time, and will sometimes want one from position 8 to be moved to position 2. Normally, I would just click and drag 8 over to the 2 spot, but now I click and try to drag and nothing happens. I ca click and drag on my desktop, and the scrollbar, and everything else, but when I click on an active tab in Firefox now it just does nothing.

I wish a screenshot would help, but it can really only be seen as it happens (or doesn't happen, as the case may be).

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...
