Cannot switch tab by clicking top edge of monitor

[ndc]

Before 145.0 upgrade, when Firefox is maximized on the screen, I can click the top edge of the screen above a tab to switch to that tab. After 145.0 upgrade, clicking the top edge is not registered. I have to lower the mouse a few pixels to enter the clickable tab area. This is a reduction in usability because previously I can just slam the mouse cursor to the top and slide left or right a bit. I didn't have to aim the mouse too accurately to enter the clickable tab selector.

This is really annoying, almost every time I want to switch tabs. I really hope this changes!

I created an account just to give this feedback because it is that bad. Please expand the clickable area!

Looks like this issue is already reported in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1993474

Is there a workaround to this? Like maybe a configurable flag in about:config? 

Otherwise, I hope this gets fixed soon. I'd hate to see this turn out to be a "feature" -- as this is how older Chrome/Edge browsers treat their tabs. Annoying indeed!

Hello

Is it this subject.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/717454#post-89662
widget.windows.windowsappsdk.enabled to false make this go away?

1 - Go to Configuration Editor for Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox
2 - Enter a search term widget.windows.windowsappsdk.enabled

To complement.
Apparently a similar discussion.

Hello,

I fully agree with original post; this is super annoying. I know this is fixable in config, but to be honest I don't see why anyone would want it any other way. Intuitively, when I want to go to a different tab, I just smash my cursor at the top of the screen, approximately where the tab is. Tabs are large, but very thin (vertically). So it makes sense to make the top edge clickable. I think it would be better to revert it.

EDIT: apparently this is a bug and not desired, therefore it will probably be fixed.
