[Bug 241937] [NEW] Handle tabs like other gnome apps

[David Prieto]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have noticed that dragging tabs in Firefox does not work like in other
gnome apps.

Basically, you can drag tabs along the tab bar to change their order,
like in so many gnome apps. But you can also drag them up and down: if
you accidentally drag them up and drop them on the bookmark bar, you add
a bookmark for it. and if you accidentally drag it down to the browser
area, you load that page again.

As you can see in the attached screenshot, the "good" area is quite
small compared to the "bad" areas, so it's actually very easy to miss
and drop the tab on a wrong place, and perform an action you didn't
want. I propose that tabs in Firefox should behave just like gnome apps,
and be able to move only left or right.

If you don't agree because you like being able to easily adding a
bookmark or loading a page, think that the same exact effect can be
achieved by dragging the favicon instead of the tab.
