How can I disable tab auto-grouping ?
How can I disable tab auto-grouping ?
I just don't use tab grouping (yet) and I don't want this particular auto-group feature which I keep triggering by accident

They should just put an alt key before dragging to enable it. It's more annoying than useful atm

It's annoying.

There's an about:config setting. browser.tabs.groups.enabled.

That works but that disable the entire system doesn't ?
I will take that, but now I'm never going to use it. I would rather just turn off the auto-grouping and not the entire thing !
Oh well, at least it CAN be disabled unlike those super annoying tab buttons like playmute and close !-
By "auto-grouping" you mean that it groups when you drag and drop, but you still want it available in the context menu? You could set
browser.tabs.dragDrop.createGroup.delayMSinabout:configto a very high number - then you'll have to hold one tab over the other for a long time before it actually offers to group them.

Found this annoying too but didn't think to do anything about it until I read this post...
Anyway looking it up, maybe tryabout:config > tabs.group > browser.tabs.group.dragOverThresholdPercentI guess turn it to 0?Edit: nevermind this isnt an option anymore on my end.
Could also disable via browser.tabs.groups.enabled

Trigger it by accident? Isn't that like saying, that you can't control your mouse? Or what is it that happens... I have many tabs open, all the time, I use groups too - and I have not once triggered it by accident. You have to hover over a tab, bit another tab, to activate it... and then, it is clearly visible, if you to - and then all you have to do, is move the tab a little away, to to remove the suggested group.

That's a bit ableist. Some people have issues with motor skills, or just a bad mouse that jumps all over the place. You have to make unnecessary stuff like this at least opt-out.

I don't object to opt out of a function. And yes - I guess I expect this to be a problem, only if you use a mouse - and if you can't handle that, maybe it's not the right tool for you... Take that in what way you want.

I had the issue too. I rearrange my tabs quite often and I'm used to being far more unrestrained in where I place them.
It wasn't an issue until they forced me to be more precise than I ever needed to be so I don't accidentally trigger a feature I don't want or need.

I handle thousands of tabs per day, the other suggestions have resolved it, the 240ms delay is just a tiny bit too short that the function gets triggered occasionally.
-
Thousand of tabs per day? Let's just say 2000 tabs a day, now we are in the thousands of them... Let's say you sleep 8 hours and visit the toilet, eat and so forth, for 2 hours a day. That's 14 hours left... That's about 2,4 tabs you use a minute, constantly... I wonder how you manage that, and what you use them for - I'd burn my brain out, trying to relate to the content of 2000 tabs a day... And you might be managing way more... But good that you resolved it...
