 Firefox 3.5 shipped with a "tab tearing" feature that enables users to detach a tab to a new window or drag individual tabs between windows. However, there are many cases in which a user may have already opened multiple tabs that the user wants to move to a different window. Currently, this requires one click-and-drag per tab. As specified in this document, multiple tab selection would achieve this result with at most ''n'' clicks and 1 drag motion. The common case of selecting and dragging a range of tabs can be completed in at most 2 clicks and 1 drag.
-In the case where a user has opened many tabs but only wishes to keep a small of them, multiple tab selection enables the user to select that subset and then select 'Close Other Tabs' from the context menu of a selected tab. Given the trend of increasing information overload, this feature helps make it easy for users to remain in control of their browsing experience.
