Pasting directly from the Manjaro Linux forum thread that I created.

This is a bit of an oddity. When I have multiple Firefox (FF) windows open, each with 3+ tabs, overlaping each other, on the same desktop, if I attempt to drag a tab from FF window #1 to #2, the alt-tab switching is prevented. I’m wondering if this glitch is KDE/Plasma specific, a misconfigured KDE setting issue, or a FF bug. I have my doubts that the issue is KDE specific because I can start a drag of a file in Dolphin, alt-tab to another Dolphin window, and drop the file. I’ve tried changing the switcher settings to the various switchers but it has no effect.

Another user in the Manjaro Linux forum said

My experiments say this: If I click on a tab then drag, I cannot alt-tab to another firefox window to drop it. If however I click on the tab, then alt-tab then I can place the tab on the other window. This is regardless of the number of instances/tabs open. It behaves the same in XFCE and KDE for me.

Your dolphin comments got me thinking and investigating more. And I you are correct, Firefox is doing something (bad) that blocks the alt-tab after you start the drag. I even tested it with Chrome and you CAN alt-tab after you start the drag.

I googled, but my google foo isn’t that powerful, I did find a single post of something using XFCE and complaining about the exact same issue, so others are seeing the issue, however a search of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ doesn’t turn up anything. You could try openning a bug and hopefully it would get fixed.
