Dragging a tab to the desktop, thus creating a new window, is a neat
feature in FF (and Chrome, btw).
Will SM ever implement this?
Currently SM creates a bookmark-shortcut icon on the desktop if you
drag
out a tab. that seemed like a great feature back in the days where
most
people had yet to understand the concept of a web browser, being
used to
view web sites, but the FF action seems more useful to me in 2012.

Changing the behavior of the user interface often generates many adverse
comments and end-user unhappiness. What you need is a new capability
without destroying the old one.
Michael Gordon is correct. This could be an option. I would never use
the option since I am quite used to dragging from the address area (URI
bar).
Oops!! I hit send too soon.
I would never use the option since I am quite used to dragging from the
address area (URI bar) to create shortcuts and using tabbed browsing in
place of mutliple windows. I never drag from a tab.
Agreeing with all posters so far that the optional-choice behaviour is
best.
Like
tabs.dragged.out.make.shortcut true/false
tabs.dragged.out.make.new-window true/false
I love tabs, but when I find a good video feed inside a new tab, I like
to drag it out to my extra screen (LCD TV) and watch it there, which is
far more convenient than backing-up, and reopening a good link in a new
window.
Anyway, it's default in FF, so "must be"? right around the corner for SM.

Sorry, why don't you just expand the browser (tab) screen to use the
entire display screen??
Or am I not understanding you, Geoff??
