Well since today, when i try to move/rearrange my tabs on the tab bar, the "moved" tab copies itself! So instead of moving it, i add another tab with the same webpage. Also i cant add tab to the bookmark toolbar either by dragging them per left mouse button on to it.

I even tried by restarting my computer, my firefox nightly and even restarted it in safe mode. oh and i have the last update. So has anyone an idea?

Hmm, dragging a tab on the tab bar with the Ctrl key down will duplicate it. It sounds as though your Firefox is having a problem correctly reading the state of the keyboard.

Not sure about the bookmarking. Could be a different issue.

You are running Nightly? I wonder whether there is a more up-to-the minute forum on Nightly issues.

It is possible that some of the status keys have the wrong state and Firefox sees them as still pressed.

Try to press all the status keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) a few times to see if that helps to recover from this. If it doesn't help then close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer.
