This is irritating me a bit and I can't put my finger on what I'm doing. Randomly, I'll be moving my mouse over a tab or something near the menu, and all of a sudden a tab will be removed and opened in a new browser window. I can't figure out exactly what I'm doing because it happens so quick, and I'm like wtf?

Anybody know anything about this little "glitch"?

I think it's your lightning fast mouse finger. You're so fast you don't even know you do it. :)

well I think it has something to do with the scroll wheel, but when I actually purposefully try to replicate it, I can't. lol There isn't much that stumps me, but this one has me scratching my head.

Possibility you're clicking as you do that? If you click a tab and drag it the slightest bit south of its current position, FF moves the tab to a new window.
I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

Chrome does the same thing and it is annoying.
