Moving tabs on firefox browser

Asked by davidzaq1

Hello,

I have an issued when I am on the Firefox browser. When I have more than one tab open, a lot of times I slide my mouse across the screen or just move it without clicking any thing and the tab will open up in a new window blocking the other tabs.
I have to click on the tab and slide it back up and place it next the the other tabs where it was previously.
This constant changing tabs is really irritating and I wonder if there is some way to fix this.

Thank you,
David

Do you have any add-ons installed that might interfere with standard tab handling, e.g. tab-mix-plus?

Problem seems to have been solved by changing drivers.
