When I drag a tab to rearrange them I get a transparent preview of the tab being dragged. How do I disable this feature. I find it to be very annoying.

Chosen solution

You can set this pref to false on the about:config page.

  • nglayout.enable_drag_image = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
