Move Tab to Next Window browser extension

A browser extension which adds a tab context menu item (Firefox) and a button action (Firefox & Chrome) to move a tab to the next window.

Especially useful for these amazing multi-monitor setups when it's too annoying to drag tabs around between windows.

Quick feature list

• the source tab position is saved in all windows, so if it's moved back into a window, it moves into its original position
• CHROMIUM: if the tab is in a tab group, when moving it the identical group will be created or used in another window
• multiple tabs move - select multiple tabs (use shift or cmd/ctrl) and move all of them into the next window in the same order
• if the tab is active, it will become active in the new window
• if the tab is inactive, it will stay inactive in the new window
• if there is only 1 window, a new window will be opened on move
• keyboard shortcut support
