Tab tearing live in latest Firefox test build

Below is a quick video demo of how the new tear-away feature works, both with dragging tabs and choosing to open them via contextual menu.

I wish you could somehow save session's in web browsers like in Firefox, but not just your last session. Rather, make firefox documents that open all the websites you want with a single click. I'd also love to program macros for web browsers, that way I'd save lots of time when I download a lot of videos or music.

I've been using Chrome since it came out, and as much as I loved Firefox, Chrome runs so much faster.

Yeah it has crashed a little more often than I'd like, but I'm willing to put up with it. And the tab 'tearing' thing really comes in handy.
