tab it all of a sudden move to the left, first inline, and is pinned to the tool bar
Just recently updated to FireFox 58.0.2 and now if I click on a tab it all of a sudden move to the left, first inline, and is pinned to the tool bar. Regardless if I move it back in in place, I have my tabs arranged, it still jump to the front. This also happens when I open up a new tab. Any help would be appreciated.

Screen shot of the problem before and after the problem?
The first screen print shows the Firefox screen tab all the way to the right. Once I click or do anything on that tab it jumps all the away to the left, first tab, and is now pinned.
Did you change any of the settings in Option page to direct FF to move the active page to the front? Cause that is what it sounds like otherwise the user themselves can grab the tab and pull it out or pull to front of the line.
No, I didn't change any options at all, I don't even know how to do something like that. All that happened was an update. Where do you find on how to do that?
No one else?
I thought this question looked familiar: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/7wpsp4/tab_issues_with_firefox_5802/
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? In Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.
If Firefox is not running: Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).
Any improvement?
Yes, everything is still where it was and nothing is getting pinned anymore. I guess that did it. So it must be one of the add-ons, thought I don't really have a lot of them.

Do any of your extension have anything to do with tabs? You can view, disable, and often remove extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions.
Then you can begin your investigation in the list on the right.
I do have Pin Up-Pin Tabs, but that is just when I open a new tab. Maybe that's causing the problem. Let me disable and try running in normal mode with it disable.
Well, that did it. I guess I need to find something to replace it.
thanks
