Hi,

On my PC (Win 7 64bit), I have FF15 installed. Problem is, that I cannot move the tabs with the mouse. Standard is, to hoover over the tab you want to move, press the left mouse button for a longer time, then you pick the tab and you can move it around to sort your tabs (think it works from 3 tabs opened). In my case, I can press the mouse button as long as I want, but the tab stays where it is).

I have a second PC (win7 64bit), where FF15 is installed. Here, everything is ok.

Is there any setting, which enables/disables this feature?

I move tabs with a "click & drag" on the tab I want to move.
Does that work for you?

You should see a little blue arrow (at least on WinXP it is blue) appear between two tabs as you go past tabs while dragging a tab. That blue arrow shows where that tab will be replaced if you release the left mouse button where that arrow is pointing.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.
