Is it normal for Firefox 3.5 to bug sometimes and open a tab in a new window by mistake? Just wondering cause it happens here and there. Rarely like maybe twice a week.

Are you sure you're not just clicking the wrong option by mistake? =| I do that sometimes.

Yeah I go click a tab and sometimes it pops up in a new window. That would be at fault wouldn't it...

I click the tab. I think I hold the mouse down a bit long.

Just... take a screenshot and point out what you're pressing. I can't tell from you telling me.

I've noticed that too...apparently if you click a tab and then move your mouse downward it will open the tab in a new window.

Try that...I just installed it this morning and haven't had the problem since, so we'll see how it works.

Never mind, Mork's got it right. I think it's a feature of Firefox, not a bug.

To go into more detail, it's called tear-off tabs. You can tear a tab from it's window to either create a new window, or put it in another window. It's great for Dual Monitor setups.
I haven't found it an issue, because I use FireGestures, and I just draw a line up with right click.
