I do have a lot of extensions installed on this computer, but NOT Tab Mix Plus or any other tab-related extension.

I've tested the script on a clean profile with only userChrome.js and Split Browser installed.
It worked perfectly.

Updated: Split Browser Ver.0.2.2007011501
Now includes "Split Tab to" on tabs context menu.
You don't need my userChrome.js script anymore.

nice tweaks in the latest. and your context menu is the best way (for me) to do a split, even though it takes 2 clicks and some precise mouse movement.

hope piro is reading.. some things remain:

1. back/forward/reload on a split via mouse buttons and context menu only apply to the main browser.

2. could grippies be added? it would be easy to just display them for those who wanted via a css style, but currently it also takes an xul overlay in userchrome.js to add the element under 'splitter'.. and it would be nice to have a direction attribute, easier than having to derive the image from the splitter's attributes.

the urlbar almost worked with Wellrounded, but it needed mods.

thanks.

Also, the icon for the drop down arrow at the right end of the urlbox doesn't seem correct.

It doesn't look like an arrow or anything else recognizable.

If I'm not mistaken, the text in the tooltips for the left and right edge buttons should be reversed. The left button says "Split to Right" but it splits to the left. And vice versa.

Only if it would receive mouse gestures and tabbing in the new window :-(

I wrote another userChrome.js script for Split Browser to add a sub-menu to Bookmarks context menu to open a bookmark in a split browser
