Tabs too easily dragged into a separate window

Open boomercore opened this issue 8 months ago • 3 comments

What happened?

It would be desirable for the distance dragged to be greater or some sort of temporal factor being introduced so separating tabs into another window would be harder to do by accident. Tried a fresh copy of portable Firefox as of today, and it requires a bit more pixel distance to break off a tab than Waterfox.

Reproducible?

For anyone else interested this is somewhat mitigated by selecting a higher 'density' toolbar in the Customize Toolbar screen. Plain Firefox doesn't have the compact mode, and likely accounts for the drag-to-separate difference.

Larger tabs don't seem to help this, on further examination. For some reason tabs still break off easily even when you don't drag downward at all.

Anyone know a workaround for this?
