Firefox 130.0 (nixos) - Why does dragging and dropping a tab in Firefox create a copy instead of moving the tab?

I updated a few days ago and I noticed that dragging and dropping a tab is creating a copy of the tab in the place where I drop it, instead of moving the tab which was the previous behavior in older versions.

Creating a copy would normally only occur if you hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the tab. I don't know why your Linux OS would behave differently.

You can try Firefox from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution to see if it behaves differently.
