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?

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!
