[Firefox] Tearing a tab to form new window, causes popUI to loose blocked item list..

Tearing a tab, to form a new window in firefox, will cause uBlock popupUI to loose its blocked list..

My guess is that the id of the tab changes when it's dropped to another window, which could be the cause.
You have to refresh the page for now.

Ok. Thanks. And i believe this is just a cosmetic thing and not something people will usually do.
However, i believe this needs to be fixed at some point in future :)

I wouldn't care about the bug but this is something I do frequently

Notes on the issue:
When moving tab to another window, no TabMove event is fired. Instead, a TabOpen event fires on the target window, and a TabClose on the source window. So, a totally new tab is created, but there is no reliable way to associate the old and a new one.
Detecting drag and drop events are not viable either, because that is not the only way to move a tab to another window, also there are extension that are able to move more than one tab at once, but the one I tried prevents detecting these events.

So it does look like a Firefox limitation. Workaround is to refresh the tab being observed.
