Delete Branch '%!s(MISSING)'
When dragging browser tabs, I often “mismove” the mouse a bit to the bottom, and end up with the tab transferred to a new window.
It seems I’m not the only one encountering this problem…

It finally got fixed in Firefox 74, with a setting
browser.tabs.allowTabDetachthat simply lets disabling that “detach tab to new window on drag down” behavior:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1610764#c1
(note you can still do “right click > Move to New Window”)
I searched in Firefox source code and the feature seems to be very simple to implement:
