When I start to move a tab to another location, a small box attached to the bottom of the tab appears with the same info that's on the tab. If I move the tab to a different location, many of my tabs disappear and I have to find them in bookmarks to put them back. Is there any way to remove that little box attached to the bottom of the tab?

Try this to turn off the thumbnail preview displayed below the tab you move: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1128821 However, the preview being on or off should not affect other tabs.
