To pull tabs:

If you want to view two tabs at the same time, it's easy to pull a tab to its own window.

  1. Click and drag the tab you wish to pull out of the window. A transparent preview of the new window will appear.

To pin tabs:

If there are some pages you use every time you open your browser, like your email or calendar, you might consider pinning the tab. Pinned tabs will open automatically whenever you start Firefox, making your favorite pages easy to access.

  1. Right-click the desired tab, then select Pin Tab from the drop-down menu.
