"Tab preview" drop-down / "list all tabs"

"Tab preview" in Firefox 131.0, and "list all tabs" button. WTF, are you people doing? If you implement something new, you MUST include a clear way to either disable it, or remove it! I've tried the so-called fixes in about:config, and they don't work!! One work around browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled is bull**bleep**! It doesn't work, and neither does the "preview tabs drop-down" fix work either.

I've been using Firefox for well over ten years, computers for 25 almost 26 years. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS COLOSSAL F-UP!

And, again, when you make changes to the Firefox browser, make it an option to opt OUT! Or, give a clear fix, so we can undo your screw-ups!

And, we can only post 1 **bleep** snapshot. WTF?

Stop smoking that crap!

One thing that really baffles me is that during toolbar customization you can remove the new tab button (or really any other button), but you can't remove this tab manager button. This lack of consistency is honestly irritating. Please do something about this, Mozilla.

And, you're abolutely right! Well, firefox is clearly NOT thinking when they impliment these kind of changes, without out a clear way to disable or delete them! I will say, up to this point, I was able to fix everything I didn't like or wanted to change, (with the exception of the above) disable or delete in Firefox. But, not anyone I guess.

Cheers...

While I appreciate your help Agentvirtuel, I'm simply NOT jumping through hoops to fix something that shouldn't have to be fixed. These coders at Firefox, could easily put in an "opt out" or "tic, or un-tic a box", for anything they change or to revert the changes, so that the end user could make any unwanted changes. Apparently, that's just too much to hope for. It seems, when compared to 10, or 15 yrs ago, things are getting worse, and more complicated, rather than easier. I'm 66.5 yrs old, I've been doing this a while, but I simply do NOT have the desire or the motivation to make these involved changes.

However, thank you Agentvirtuel, I do appreciate your time, and willingness to help…

I have an Acer laptop, running Windows 7 Pro. (Also, an HP desktop running Win 11 Pro which is using the update FF browser) The Win 7 machine runs Firefox legacy (115.16) which is not going to change, and so the fine people at Firefox, can't F that up! J

Exactly.  All it needs is one instance of ‘removable="false"’ changing to ‘removable="true"’ in the code.

The CSS to get rid is:—

 

/* Get rid of Show All Tabs icon */
.tabs-alltabs-button {display: none !important;}
