Absence of this feature makes it very difficult to alleviate concerns of people that approach me for recommendation of a browser only to find out that there's no scoping of permissions of extensions in Firefox to speak of.
I know that this has been tied into the Manifest V3 implementation, but that seems ages away whilst this very feature has been available in other browsers for years now.
Help us help others to move away from *other browsers* by giving them less reasons to worry about, please!
Hi everyone! My name is Nicole, and I am part of the Firefox Desktop Essentials Product Management Team. I have some exciting news to share with the community today - tab hover preview is coming...SOON! 🙂 Thanks to a lot of hard work from engineering, product, and UX and QA teams, you will start to see Tab Hover Preview within the next couple of releases (I'm going to stay vague about the exact release as we're still in QA and have yet to execute the rollout process). I will pop in and update as soon as I have a more concrete idea of the release date, but in the mean time, I wanted to thank the community for their suggestions around this feature and your patience with us as we work to get it just right for you. #tabhoverpreview #amazingcommunity #firefox #ourusersarethebest
The tab previews caused me havoc with sites re-directing to their home page when chrome restarts... I'd prefer this to be an option that I have to actively enable in settings...
I fixed it and it worked. But now I don't remember exactly what I turned on and off in the console. But it helped.
So look for the parameters in the console that are responsible for this and poke back and forth, I haven't reinstalled the browser in 2021, maybe it will be easier for someone to reinstall it completely, and that's it.
