Expected results:

By default, Firefox uses the boolean value of "true" for the nglayout.enable_drag_images preference. The preference is found in modules/libpref/init/all.js (line 930).

This preference controls whether or not a transparent preview box is drawn over a tab when holding and moving it across the bar at the top of a Firefox window. I think that this should be "false" by default. The current default behaviour degrades the user experience by obstructing the user's view when managing tabs. In my opinion, the user's visual experience is both enhanced and simplified when using the "false" value.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Preferences: Backend' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
