Convert a tab into a popup and vice versa

Popup Tab is a handy Firefox add-on that allows you to effortlessly convert any tab into a popup window, and back into a tab without the hassle of reloading the page.

Convert a tab into a popup window works well. but when I merge popup, the firefox windows missed. I use "Sizer" software to get windows current position, it is outside screen. (my monitor resolution is 2560x1440, but firefox windows position at left:2757 top:83)

Add an option to NOT have the pop out always on top and this will earn another star from me.
