## Please summarize the request, emphasizing any user-facing changes. Include historical context or background information if it helps users understand the new features or changes. [REQUIRED]

Add tab hover preview setting ("Show an image preview when you hover on a tab") to tab settings article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-preferences-and-settings

I suggest wording something like:

> * '''Show an image preview when you hover on a tab:''' When you move your pointer over a tab, Firefox will show a thumbnail preview image. To disable the preview images, uncheck this setting.

I recommend including the word "thumbnail" in the setting's description for SEO reasons. The setting's string doesn't mention "thumbnail", but users might search for "thumbnail".

## Are the user-facing changes mentioned above for the production release, or is the feature/change experimental/ beta? (Production, Experimental or Beta) [REQUIRED]

Yes. Tab hover preview is enabled (via Nimbus rollout) for 100% of Fx 129+ users in Release, Beta, and Nightly.

## Are the new features or changes region-specific? Are they going to be released in a gradual rollout? [REQUIRED]

Tab hover preview is not region-specific. Tab hover preview is enabled (via Nimbus rollout) for 100% of Fx 129+ users in Release, Beta, and Nightly.

## Please indicate if this is an on- or off-train release [REQUIRED] 

On train release

## What is the anticipated release date? [REQUIRED]

Fx 129, release date: 2024-08-06

## Does the content need to be published prior to the release date? If so, when? [REQUIRED]

The content can be published any time.

## Does the content need to be localized in any languages outside of EN-US? If yes, please indicate which languages. [REQUIRED]

The content should be localized to all locales supported by SUMO, but localization doesn't need to block updating the EN-US article.

## Please include any related JIRA/Github/Bugzilla tickets, documentation, demos or practical use cases. [REQUIRED]

Tab hover preview's meta bug 1783521

## Please include links to any design assets, visuals, figma files, etc. [REQUIRED]
**Note: Ensure to submit only final visual assets relevant to the Production release, excluding Nightly or Beta images, and favor 'Light mode' UI screenshots over 'Dark mode'**

## Please add instructions for testing that will enable us to replicate the expected product behavior. [REQUIRED]

In Fx 129+, mouse over a background tab to see a thumbnail preview image. Since the feature is enabled in Fx 129 by a Nimbus rollout, you might need to restart Firefox after updating to 129 and wait a minute for Firefox to check Nimbus.

## Does the content need approval before publishing? If yes, identify the one approver responsible for this task.

No

I've attached a screenshot of the setting in Fx 129 on Windows.
