Firefox should automatically resize the content of a site when opened on a monitor of a different size or resolution than that of the monitor on which its currently running. As of now, my super old 2nd monitor shows me basically the left half of a site when I drag a tab from my nice new monitor onto it. | Firefox should automatically resize the content of a site when opened on a monitor of a different size or resolution than that of the monitor on which its currently running.

== Dragging Tabs to Desktop/Directories == | |||
The behavior for this has been changed recently. It used to be that dragging a tab in Windows XP (and probably other Windows OS) to the Desktop, a directory on the Desktop, or an open Windows Explorer window, would create a shortcut to that URL (a .url file I believe) in that location. Now dragging a tab to pretty much anywhere that isn't a Firefox TabBar causes it to open in a new Firefox window and be removed from its old window and location. | |||
While this might be popular with some, if you have several or many tabs open and you want to quickly store their URLs in a directory (for later use) it is not ideal: | |||
*the new system requires that you click on a tab and then drag the button on the left of the URL (not sure of its name, it's between the 'Home' button and the URL at the top of the window, and it shows the icon of the web site or page, eg an open book right now...) to the desired destination. That's one click, then a mouse movement, then a drag per tab which with a lot of tabs adds up quickly, and the mouse movement is fiddly if you do it a lot. | |||
*the old system allowed you to just drag the desired tab to the destination immediately - just one drag, much quicker and simpler. | |||
Please please please can we at least have an option to choose between the two behaviours? I use this a lot! | |||
