Expected results:
Currently there is no way to trigger an event when the user hovers the mouse over any tab. The context might be relevant, so I will explain: I discovered this limitation when attempting to create a browser extension that allows the user to scroll tabs using the mouse wheel when hovering over the tabs. This is a somewhat common behavior in Linux desktop environments (GNOME, i3wm and others) and I thought it would be a nice thing to have also in Firefox :)
As for the version: Mozilla Firefox 115.10.0esr

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'WebExtensions::Untriaged' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

The tabstrip is very (desktop) browser-specific UI and I don't see a realistic way to expose a meaningful, stable API to extension developers.
