I am referencing the action you can make by dragging a tab out of the top bar, which creates a new window wherein to put the dragged tab.

  • Depends what platform you're on, but Safari can do that [or rather it has a menu command to do it, to which you could easily add your own shortcut key command.] i.stack.imgur.com/SJ2RO.png

  • @Tetsujin What is this need to impose your tastes on others ? My post literally starts with "Firefox", and you answer something about Safari... If I was asking for other browsers alternatives, I would have said so.

  • "Imposing my taste" is a bit strong for what was meant to be a helpful suggestion for a possible alternative. Remind me not to bother trying to help you ever again.

There is no native option for this, but you can achieve this by using the Shortkeys add-on

In Shortkeys options, in the behavior dropdown, in the Tabs category, there is a Move tab to new window command.

You can create a keyboard shortcut for it.

There is no a 1 shortcut to achieve this, but you could do that with several shortcuts:

  1. Ctrl-L # Focus on URL in current window.
  2. Ctrl-C # Copy it.
  3. Ctrl-W # Close current tab.
  4. Ctrl-N # Open new window.
  5. Ctrl-V # Paste.
  6. Enter # Open URL in new window.

    This doesn't "detach" the tab though, but rather opens a new instance. This essentially reloads the page which detaching doesn't.

Ctrl-L, Shift-tab 3 times, Shift-F10, v, w.

The sequence above focuses the address bar, then focuses the tab, then calls the tab context menu, then opens the Move Tab submenu, then selects Move to New Window.

Sometimes I'll right-click on a tab then type v, w to accomplish the same thing. Seems cleaner somehow then dragging the tab to move it to a new window.
