This new feature, I'm sure copied over Chrome tab dragging is more annoying than useful due to the sensitivity of the dragging.

Everytime I tried to click on a tab and any little movement involved with the clicking will open this in a new window. Also when I try to drag the new window tab back into the old window I can't see the old window to drag it back in, which is also annoying. Chrome uses transparency to show the window in the background. Can you copy that feature also?

BTW, I love your product, but lately it seems like firefox is focusing so much attention on all other things that you guys forgot, ( just like the IE team ) that your company should focus on the browser.

Quick and responsive browser features not memory bloated software that keeps crashing my computer, please.... :(
