Firefox 17 tab repositioning animation
The new animation for repositioning tabs annoys me a lot =\ is there any way to change or delete it?

I Found a working solution: Install the Tab Utilities extension for Firefox and make sure extensions.tabutils.disableTabMoveAnimation is set to true. The animation should now be gone and the lovely arrow back!

hello lalalei2001, there's an entry named browser.tabs.animate in about:config, you can toggle it to false by double-clicking it but as far as í can see it only disables the animation during opening or closing a tab at the moment (not when you drag it though). there is a open bug for it that asks for the setting to be expanded to the drag animation, but i don't know how likely it is to get fixed soon...
Question owner
Thanks ^^; I don't mind the opening or closing animation, but the dragging one is a pain.

I tried the about:config "fix" listed everywhere. The idiotic animation is still there.
