    Hello, all. I just got into EVE Online recently and it sparked a thought; something I've been meaning to ask for a while now. In EVE, if you have two open windows, you can drag one near the top of the second and create a tab (one window with two tabs). Is there any way to do the same with Firefox? I much prefer multiple tabs than more than one window and I've always meant to see if this was possible. Google was of no help and I tried phrasing this in multiple ways.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Yes it does appear you can do it (at least with Pale moon 24.11 that is based on FF) If you have 2 distinct windows open click on the title bar of a tab in one window, then drag and drop to the area next to the + sign of the other window.

    Awesome! And here I was clicking on the top of the window itself and not the tab, lol. Unless there's a way to 'select' all of the tabs at once it looks like, if I had a window with more than one tab, I'd have to click and drag individually. Little bit of a letdown considering how easy it is in EVE, but thank you for your help, JOSEA! :D

    Do a search for plugins. A lot of the better functionality is in plugins, which keeps the core program smaller.

    This has been in Firefox for at least a couple of years now.

    I'm assuming in a full sentence that would have looked like this: "This has also been in Chrome, IE, and probably Safari for at least a couple of years now."

    Anyway, thanks again for the help, JOSEA, and thanks for the tip, ajnindlo. I'll try and find a plug-in database online somewhere.
