I have a Firefox window with multiple tabs. If I drag a tab onto a blank space on the desktop, Firefox is supposed to create a new window with its contents being that tab, and at the same time remove that tab from the original window. This works fine in Windows. This is on an up-to-date Arch installation with Firefox 43 but it has been a problem for a long time. It did work back on KDE4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to drag a Firefox tab and hover it over an open spot on the KDE desktop. A grabber hand appears over the tab, a mini-icon is made of the page being dragged, the cursor changes from a grabber hand to an arrow with a "+" sign over it once the cursor is over the desktop, and a square outline appears on the desktop where the icon will be dropped. So far, so good. 2. Release the mouse button to make the drop happen. Actual Results: I hear activity on my disk but the square outline that was on my desktop fades away and the Firefox tab is not created in a new window on the desktop. The tab remains in the original window. Expected Results: The tab should have closed from the original window and reopened in a new window. - Works fine in Windows - Used to work in KDE4 - Drag and drop of Konsole tabs onto the desktop to a new window works fine.
