So if I have multiple web pages open, on each I am viewing a youtube video, how can I merge those pages into 1 WITHOUT THE PAGE RELOADING, and hence reloading the video? (I can drag a tab from one page to the other, but that would cause me to reload the video and page. (in Safari there was an option under "Window" that says "Merge Windows", is there anything like that in Firefox? Thanks a million, D

You can't yet. This is a known bug waiting to be fixed in Firefox. Note that this is specific to pages with plugins (like for video) on them. Normal pages will drag between windows just fine.

Feel free to offer a bounty as an incentive for anyone to fix this sooner.

Using Firefox 3.5.2 I Just Dragged and drop the tab from one window to the next. You can also drag it out into its own window by dragging the tab out of Firefox and dropping it.
