The world's crappiest UI feature

[benlehman]

I want to write about a new UI "feature" in Firefox 3.5. I want to explain in depth how much it sucks. But I'm jet-lagged to hell, so I'll just say "the thing where you drag a tab into the window that it's in an it opens up a new window with that tab while simultaneously closing the old tab in the old window" is a crappy as hell feature for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which is I have no idea why you'd want to do it in the first place.

It's a feature Opera has had for a while. I assume you can also put it back, right?

It is handy for large multi-monitor setups where you want to view 3-4 webpages at once.

It is not undoable by control-z. I have no idea if you can drag windows into tabs, as my screen cannot accommodate that sort of thing (firefox windows fill the screen.)
