I keep one browser window maximized on my projector screen and one maximized on my monitor screen (primary display). I want to be able to drag tabs from one screen to the other, to maximize into a new window on that screen, or to become a new tab in an existing window.

When I only have one window maximized, on my primary display, and I want to drag a tab over to my secondary display to maximize it, I have to un-maximize it, drag the tab over to the new screen, and then maximize it.

I have this same problem...well actually it's my home PC and I have 3 monitors that I like to move stuff around in but anyway....

The only solution I know of is stop using firefox and start using chrome....It is the only one of the 3 big ones (FF, IE and Chrome) that can do this...of coure would prefer to do this with firefox but as it can't do it and chrome can....

Oh and it is always possible someone somewhere has made an add-on that allows FF to do this but....IDK....
