[SOLVED] How to hide tab preview on hover introduced in FF 131?
Hello,
I've already hided the preview of tab name on hover when they introduced it back then with:
/* disable preview of a tab name as you hover over it */ #tabbrowser-tab-tooltip { display: none !important; }
but I can't seem to find the selector to hide this new feature as well, so I was wondering if I could get some help :D
Thanks in advance!
Hi, you can set browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled to False in about:config
There's also a checkbox in settings > general section.
Oh you're right, under Tabs! Thanks
Thanks!
Why don't you like it? Obviously you should be able to hide it and customise it however you want, I'm just wondering.
I don't find it useful I guess?
On computers where I've got high specs, if I want a quick look on a tab it's faster to just switch to that tab rather than waiting for me to hover on the tab and get a preview of it, so I guess I could keep it there, but I feel like it distracts me on the rare occasion I have to close a tab clicking on the X with the mouse (I rarely do it, usually I'm a kb shortcut guy)
On computers where I got low specs, I feel like the tab hover preview is just something that doesn't actually give me any benefits and instead just slows more a modest specs system when I move the mouse on the tabs for whatever reasons.
I'm glad FF is introducing more things of course, I can see the appeal for the general public, but it's not for me I guess?
Personally, I don't have as strong of an opinion on it, but I have noticed that I mostly switch tabs via keyboard shortcuts. So, pretty much the only time the preview shows up, is when I go to drag a tab to another window. And at that point, it usually rather gets in the way than it being useful...
