Hi I don't know if this is just me missing it or not

I'm using Mint Cinnamon, but using only cairo dock my left and hide the main cinnamon panel (always like left panel like in unity, and in my dual boot windows, unfortunately cinnamon cannot do that.)
Then when I was using firefox, and accidentally drag a tab outside when trying to rearrange them, and make a new window as a result. I want to return it to the main window, but it seems that I can't.

Any suggestion?
Thanks before

Hi,
it seems you dragged an applet out of the dock.
when you hover the applet with your mouse, there should be a small arrow in the top right corner, just click on it

PS: after that, to avoid accidental drag, you can right-click on the dock -> cairo-dock -> lock icons position

Actually, I was trying to drag a browser tab and combine it to the main browser window. Somewhat like dragging a file from file explorer, through panel, and drop it on facebook/attachment (Yes, the title should be 'through' panel, not 'to' panel. My mistake..)
Well, I can drag file over cairo panel , but I still can't drag a tab to move to other window.
Err.. for example, two windows with one tab each, then I drag the tab to combine it into one window with two tabs.
Sorry if I can't put it into words better...

I guess I'll edit the title to be more specific..

that's a problem with firefox then (I see your point, but I don't know if firefox lets you merge 2 windows into a single one)

well, I can do it through default Cinnamon panel though. my Windows version also can do it, so I dont think it's firefox's problem.

do you mean that you can't drag the tab, because when you try, it drags an icon of the dock ?

sorry for late reply, gotta find something for recording.
here is what I mean: http://youtu.be/ikL2lGDDkas

I can't drag it through different firefox windows from cairo tab, although it works without problem with cinnamon panel
normally (if possible) I wouldn't use the default panel though. I want a single panel on the left side like on my Windows, cairo-dock only, because I like to save vertical space as much as possible.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to you
