Moving a tab to new window moves the tab, but I can not close both tabs after.
I am Using Firefox 19.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
I have got a problem:
When I move a tab to a new window either by dragging the tab or by right clicking on tab and clicking on Move to New Window Opens the tab, but following happens:
- Previous tab doesn't close,
- It cannot be used further,
- It cannot be switched once you switched to any other tab,
- It cannot be closed by clicking cross sign (X) next to it,
- New tab opened do not have the URL in Location Bar,
- New tab cannot be closed by clicking cross sign (X) next to it,
- New tab cannot be switched once you switched to any other tab,
- You can atleast switch to the tab if you Pin it.
Please Help, how can I use it normaly.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Hello,
Thanking you for the reply, It was extremely helpful to diagnose the issue.
Now I know that my trouble is due to an add-on-Toolbar. This toolbar is incompatible since Mozilla 7.1 which I am using through forcing the add-on compatibility. It was working fine with Firefox 18 but now creating the issue with FF 19, As the toolbar is extremely useful for my work I can not remove it.
What should I do now.
Thanks again.
