Rules
- Posts must have flair!
- Posts cannot be memes/shitposts. They should be about Firefox customization with CSS.
- Please be civil. Bear in mind that many users come here for help and would be turned off by insults and rudeness.
- When posting large amount of code use a service dedicated to hosting text snippets, such as pastebin, hastebin, github gist or equivalent. Relatively short snippets can be wrapped in code-block for inline viewing.
- Do NOT use url-shorteners or link to compressed downloads (such as zip or rar) when sharing code.

Why don't you like it? Obviously you should be able to hide it and customise it however you want, I'm just wondering.
I don't find it useful I guess?
On computers where I've got high specs, if I want a quick look on a tab it's faster to just switch to that tab rather than waiting for me to hover on the tab and get a preview of it, so I guess I could keep it there, but I feel like it distracts me on the rare occasion I have to close a tab clicking on the X with the mouse (I rarely do it, usually I'm a kb shortcut guy)
On computers where I got low specs, I feel like the tab hover preview is just something that doesn't actually give me any benefits and instead just slows more a modest specs system when I move the mouse on the tabs for whatever reasons.
I'm glad FF is introducing more things of course, I can see the appeal for the general public, but it's not for me I guess?
Personally, I don't have as strong of an opinion on it, but I have noticed that I mostly switch tabs via keyboard shortcuts. So, pretty much the only time the preview shows up, is when I go to drag a tab to another window. And at that point, it usually rather gets in the way than it being useful...
