And better still is the ability to tear off a tab and put it into the tab bar of another window. Finally! This is awesome!
UPDATE:
Another minor, but still cool, new feature of Firefox 3.1 is that middle-clicking a tab in a window with only a single tab open will actually close the tab and, thus, the window. Previously, middle-click did nothing in such a circumstance.
