KB content update/ new content
Please summarize the request, emphasizing any user-facing changes. Include historical context or background information if it helps users understand the new features or changes. [REQUIRED]
Add tab hover preview setting ("Show an image preview when you hover on a tab") to tab settings article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-preferences-and-settings
I suggest wording something like:
- '''Show an image preview when you hover on a tab:''' When you move your pointer over a tab, Firefox will show a thumbnail preview image. To disable the preview images, uncheck this setting.
I recommend including the word "thumbnail" in the setting's description for SEO reasons. The setting's string doesn't mention "thumbnail", but users might search for "thumbnail".
I've attached a screenshot of the setting in Fx 129 on Windows.
Are the user-facing changes mentioned above for the production release, or is the feature/change experimental/ beta? (Production, Experimental or Beta) [REQUIRED]
Yes. Tab hover preview is enabled (via Nimbus rollout) for 100% of Fx 129+ users in Release, Beta, and Nightly.
Are the new features or changes region-specific? Are they going to be released in a gradual rollout? [REQUIRED]
Tab hover preview is not region-specific. Tab hover preview is enabled (via Nimbus rollout) for 100% of Fx 129+ users in Release, Beta, and Nightly.
Please indicate if this is an on- or off-train release [REQUIRED]
On train release
What is the anticipated release date? [REQUIRED]
Fx 129, release date: 2024-08-06
Does the content need to be published prior to the release date? If so, when? [REQUIRED]
The content can be published any time.
Does the content need to be localized in any languages outside of EN-US? If yes, please indicate which languages. [REQUIRED]
The content should be localized to all locales supported by SUMO, but localization doesn't need to block updating the EN-US article.
Please include any related JIRA/Github/Bugzilla tickets, documentation, demos or practical use cases. [REQUIRED]
Tab hover preview's meta bug 1783521
Please include links to any design assets, visuals, figma files, etc. [REQUIRED]
Note: Ensure to submit only final visual assets relevant to the Production release, excluding Nightly or Beta images, and favor 'Light mode' UI screenshots over 'Dark mode'
Please add instructions for testing that will enable us to replicate the expected product behavior. [REQUIRED]
In Fx 129+, mouse over a background tab to see a thumbnail preview image. Since the feature is enabled in Fx 129 by a Nimbus rollout, you might need to restart Firefox after updating to 129 and wait a minute for Firefox to check Nimbus.
Does the content need approval before publishing? If yes, identify the one approver responsible for this task.
No

Hey guys! I was just talking with Mandy about this. I noticed the helpfulness votes for this article are quite low, so I decided to give the content a full revamp. Paul, could you use this draft as your starting point for the updates? Let me know when it’s ready for review, and I’ll update it in Asana. Again, thanks so much for all the help, Paul. The content team will be pretty stretched over the next couple of weeks, so your support is much appreciated! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fOP8ylYmI2QwqamWfkLjD5eYT87CBekjOBoJLmFpt3k/edit?usp=sharing

Here's a screenshot of the Firefox 130 beta Tabs settings panel on Windows 10, in case it's needed, showing the new Firefox Labs section in the panels list on the left.
Edit made and ready for review - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-preferences-and-settings/history#preview
I have added the new option for the tab hover preview, but further to conversation with Lucas I am holding fire on the full refresh of that page test and images as the draft has a few outstanding points and I am aware of product changes coming in the near future that could very well change this specific section.

I made a new revision by editing the one by Seburo, to add Windows images for fx129 and fx130+ (new linux and mac images still needed). I also made the Show an image preview when you hover on a tab setting for fx129 and above (ref: bug 1783521 and https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/129.0/releasenotes/). See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-preferences-and-settings/history (both revisions are pending).

Thanks, Alice! I’ve approved your revisions. I also submitted one with a fresh intro and search summary, and updated the main screenshot to match the latest SUMO guidelines.
