Cannot Detach, Move, or otherwise adjust Tabs after updating to Windows 11
Recently updated to Windows 11 after Windows 10 stopped getting supported. After putting down several smaller issues on my own, I can encountered something I cannot fix on my own. Currently, I cannot detach, reattach, move tabs (With the exception of moving tabs with the right click menu). I could do all of these on Windows 10. I have already tried the browser.tabs.allowTabDetach setting in about:config to no success. I am starting to suspect it is a problem with windows versus a problem with Firefox because of an earlier bug where I couldn't move the windows entirely without enabling the Snap Windows function in my settings.

You can't even move tabs left and right along the tab bar? That's definitely not normal. If you switch the window between resizable and maximized, does it work any better in the other condition?

By this I meant I couldn't move the entire Firefox window without enabling the Snap Windows function.

I'm having the same problem in Windows 10 with the Firefox browser. I can NO LONGER MOVE any of my tabs (left, right) and the only way to move tabs now is to use the right click drop down to move a tab all the way to the left end or right end. This started back in September or October of 2025 after either a Firefox update &/or a Microsoft Windows 10 update.

There was a bug involving a tab getting stuck during a move and controls on the main toolbar being mostly inaccessible. Are you seeing the toolbar issue, or is it only stuck tabs? Any difference if you switch the window between maximized and resizable?
