## Description

**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.

## Review summary

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)
