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)

2024-02-28	Xg*****	I HAVE 27 FF WINDOWS across 18 Virtual Desktops and this works almost perfectly. It's always reliable. Just a couple of issues to watch: 1) if you select the top tab in a nest, the entire nest will be moved. 2) The "move to" context window lists all 27 windows, but the list order is "as created" and tough-lucksky trying to find your window. So Guido - that's one feature update that would be worthy of a revisit. THANKS.

2023-06-29	Fi*****	Does what I wanted it to, which is to give me a way to move tabs between windows without dragging them around. No idea why this isn't built-in like it is on Chromium browsers, but at least we can get there with extensions. Only niggle I have is that it would be nice if it either detected when I have the extension disabled for private windows or allowed the option to just show it as a single submenu. The "Close and Reopen in Window" option is nearly always grayed out and useless.
