Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:126.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/126.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open 3 tabs
  2. Drag one of the tabs out of the window to create a new window
  3. Try to reorder tabs in the first window by dragging them

Actual results:

In 99% of times, tabs cannot be dragged anymore until Firefox is restarted.

Expected results:

Tabs can still be dragged.

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

Component: Untriaged → Tabbed Browser

As it turns out, it's not just tabs. I can't drag anything at all. Selected text, images, bookmarks, sites on the new tab...

I confirm that this bug is real and occurring at present

I used to be able to drag tabs to arrange it & was able to drag a tab out to make a new window or to drag a tab onto an existing window to consolidate it.

Now (28 May 2024) none of this works. a reboot solves it for a few minutes or a first drag. but its broken after that.

Using Ubuntu 22.04. been on it for 2 years and it worked fine. not sure if something on an OS update or FF update that broke it.

It sounds like the drag&drop session is not ending properly, that is implemented per platform so moving to GTK Widgets

Component: Tabbed Browser → Widget: Gtk
Product: Firefox → Core

Seeing this issue on Windows as well (23H2, build 22631.3593)

I've also been experiencing this bug for a few days now: when it occurs, tooltips no longer appear (neither on tabs, nor on user interface buttons, nor on DOM elements with a title attribute).

Seems to be working for me now on 126.0.1, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:126.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/126.0

This seems to happen when you drag a tab (or even a DOM element (link, image, ...)) and release it very quickly (before the drag icon or preview appears, less than half a second after the drag was initiated).

So there's a good chance that this will regularly happen accidentally.

I don't have this issue in 126.0.1. Looks like it's a duplicate of bug 1897115.
