Did you want to nominate this for a Nightly release note?

Comment 11

[DJ (:dwalker)]

It's a high-visibility change, so it should probably be in the notes. How do I do that?

Set the relnote-firefox flag to ? and fill out the form that auto-populates the comment box.

Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated)
[Why is this notable]: Replaces tab tooltips with a card containing a screenshot preview; previously opt-in feature is now on by default in Nightly
[Affects Firefox for Android]: No
[Suggested wording]: Hovering the mouse over an unfocused tab will now display a visual preview of its contents
[Links (documentation, blog post, etc)]: None
