How do I disable the webpage preview that pops up when I hover my mouse over a tab?
I don't know why this started today, but it is driving me nuts! I was surfing the net, when all of a sudden I noticed that whenever I hovered my mouse over one of my tabs, a (poorly rendered) preview of the webpage popped up from my mouse. I really do not need this feature. I don't need to have a mini-webpage preview of another tab. Please, how do I disable this feature?
- note: I have disabled all my add-ons, and still nothing. I disabled my hardware acceleration, and still nothing. Please!

I've never noticed that. Do these old threads shed any light?
- Disabling the tab drop down preview window?? - FVD suite
- How can I disable the tab preview when I hover over a tab? - other add-ons/settings

Are you sure that you weren't holding down the left mouse button and drag the tab slightly?
Try to set the Boolean pref nglayout.enable_drag_images to false on the about:config page.

Thanks guys! I started in safe mode, saw that the tab previews weren't popping up, and then proceeded to disable each of my add-ons one by one. It turned out to be the FVD thing. Again, thank so much!
