Firefox now displays a transparent thumbnail when dragging tabs, how can I change it back to the arrow?
When I drag a tab in version 26.0 it now displays a small transparent thumbnail of a tab when I drag it. I much preferred the previous setting when an arrow was displayed to indicate where the tab would be dropped. Is there an option somewhere that I was unable to find which controls this behavior? Is there an entry in about:config that I can change to get the arrow back?

I forgot to mention that I hadn't updated Firefox on this particular system in a while, so I am not certain how new this change is. If there is no longer any option to display an arrow for tab dragging, just knowing that fact would be appreciated.
Does it help to set the nglayout.enable_drag_images pref to false on the about:config page?
Yes that helps. It disabled the transparent image. It did not return the arrow, but without the hovering image it is MUCH easier to see where the tab will be dropped. Thank you, it solved my problem.
I had tried searching the knowledge base, but since I did not know the name of the function I was unable to find the answer on my own. Thank you again for your help.
