Disable Tab Dragging ? #252

Closed RichardGe closed 1 year ago

RichardGe commented 1 year ago

Hi, I'm using this multi-row tabs CSS for years, thanks for maintaining it with latest versions of FF. I have a question about tab dragging: When I work on several lines of tabs, I often intentionally move tabs of a few pixels, and for any reasons this tab jumps to a totally different location. Is there a way to disable tab dragging ( that would be the easiest solution I guess, and that would be good enough for me )... Or even better, is there a fix that allows to correctly drag the tabs when using multiple lines ? Thanks.

Firefox' tab re-ordering function works by checking the horizontal coordinate of the tab to determine where you are dragging it to. But with multiple tab rows the horizontal coordinate doesn't just "always increase" when you iterate through them.

What you would need to do is to write custom tab reordering function which you certainly cannot do with CSS. Thus you can't make re-ordering it work correctly with CSS.

But, apparently you can "break" the dragging function like this:

#tabbrowser-tabs[movingtab] .tabbrowser-tab{
  transform: none !important;
}

It's not a complete success though - when you drag the first tab of a given row then that one is still thrown to some new place.

your code is working exactly as I want, thanks !

Oh Wait - actually with this code, if I slightly (intentionally) move a tab the address bar becomes impossible to interact with.

Oh shoot, I suppose that really breaks re-ordering function then. You could work around that issue by adding: #nav-bar{ pointer-events: auto !important; } but there might be all sorts of other things broken.

With that new additional line, I feel it improves it. it disables dragging for ~50% of time on my tabs ( which is better than nothing ). And I see no bad side effect for now. I'll keep it and report here if I see any bad behavior. Thanks!

actually I disabled this code. As after some hours of usage, my close button on tab was not working anymore for unkonwn reason
