How do I turn off (or otherwise get rid of) the preview thumbnail that appears (just below the tab) when you drag and drop Firefox tabs on the Tab bar to rearrange them?

Hi, try this: type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to nglayout.enable_drag_images and double click on it to change 'Value' from True to False. You may then need to restart Firefox.
