Features & Capabilities

Tab Mover is a handy Firefox addon designed to streamline your browsing experience by allowing quick movement of tabs between windows. With a simple right-click on a tab, you can transfer it between two normal windows, two incognito windows, or even from a normal window to an incognito window. A unique feature of Tab Mover is its workaround for Firefox's limitation: when moving tabs from incognito to normal windows, it can close the tab and reopen its URL in the desired window seamlessly.

This extension enhances tab management, making it easier to organize your workflow and maintain privacy when needed. Whether you're juggling multiple tasks or managing browsing sessions, Tab Mover provides an intuitive and efficient way to handle tabs across different windows.

User Reviews

Users love that Tab Mover reliably moves single or multiple tabs between windows, is simple and interoperable with other add‑ons, and handles many windows/virtual desktops. Common complaints: the target-window list is hard to read/find (ordering and changing names), the action requires extra submenu clicks, and there are no keyboard shortcuts — many feel this functionality ought to be built into Firefox.

Pros

Moves tabs between windows without dragging — fills a missing Firefox feature
Supports selecting and moving multiple tabs at once
Simple, focused UI that "does one thing well" and plays nicely with other add‑ons
Works reliably for users with many windows/virtual desktops and large tab counts
Clear and easy-to-use compared with other extensions

Cons

Target window list is hard to use — order is creation-based and names change with the active tab, making windows difficult to identify
Requires extra clicks/submenus to reach the move option; users want a quicker path or single-menu placement
No built-in keyboard shortcuts to jump or move tabs to specific windows
This should be a native Firefox feature (users dislike needing an add‑on for it)

This extension save my day! I move to Zen Browser, and having hard time moving the tabs to other window on different desktop.. and only this extensions works... The other extensions sucks.. doesn't work, doesn't list window, broken, etc...

It just randomly fails on you, and it doesn't let you move tabs. You need to either restart your browser, or disable and re-enable the extension, for it to work again. When it works it's good. But 1 star because the product isn't stable.

Is Tab Mover Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tab Mover requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Tab Mover has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
