allowTabDetach not working

If I set allowTabDetach to false it still allows it. If I just barely move a tab when clicking on it, it moves it to a new window. In other words, FF is ignoring the setting.

Hi, do you mean in about:config, you switched browser.tabs.allowTabDetach from true to false? That has always worked for me.

If you see a separate preference in about:config that is just allowTabDetach, that is not an official preference name and you can remove it using the trash can at the end of the row for that one.

Nevermind. That setting only applies to the native tab bar. I use Tree Style Tabs. There's an addon setting I had to change. We'll see if it sticks.

Aha, that explains it. Add-on sidebar behaviors are determined by the add-on.
