:atrif, if you think that's a regression, could you try to find a regression range using for example mozregression?

It seems that this issue was fixed by bug 1897475. When clicking non-selected tabs while the tab preview is displayed, the tab preview is closed. However, the tab preview does not close on clicking on the selected tab. Verified with Firefox 128.0a1 (2024-05-30) on Windows 10x64, macOS 13 and Ubuntu 22.
If a new issue is necessary to cover the selected tab scenario please let us know. Thank you!
