I just upgraded my main machine to Fedora 31 this weekend and have the same tab issue. I'm using Gnome. I don't seem to have any trouble with drop down menus though. My laptop has been running Fedora 31 since it was released but I rarely detach tabs there so I can't say if it is working (it's not handy to test at the moment).

I tried safemode, and was still unable to detach tabs.

I also found something interesting, from the "about:preferences" page 
when I first start the web browser I can select the drop down menus, eg, 
default fonts, size etc, however once I attempt to detach a tab the 
dropdown tabs no longer work.

I guess the next question is, could there be some sort of browser 
interaction with Gnome that isn't working right?

I now deleted ~/.mozilla and ~/.cache/mozilla and allowed firefox to recreate the files/directories upon restart.

I've also noticed that not only can I not tear tabs off to a new window, many dropdown menu boxes will not work.  This is not only on web pages but from within the browser.

Is there any other configuration file (system config?) that is pulled in at startup also?
Have you tried starting firefox from a terminal using --safe-mode to eliminate a possible
issue with an extension?


he dropped the diretory ~/.mozilla where extensions are in

at least on my system, where no extensions are installed via rpm packages. Maybe there it looks different.


Good point.

The only exception may be that the OP has a FF account and that it acts like having a Chrome account
where your bookmarks and extensions are restored when you start with a clean system and login.
