RE: Firefox 3.6 I usually have two tabs open on a page- Facebook being one and a social networking site I help administer on the other. At various times (I cannot find a pattern...) the two tabs on a single page disassociate and turn into two separate pages....each page with one of the tabs. Why? It's a pain to deal with.....

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window.
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

You can try this add-on:

hmmmm....maybe my system is not responding as fast as I think it is and I may be inadvertently dragging a tab....I'll be more deliberate in my clicks and see if that reduces the problem....thanks....
