This Bug seems to be Wayland related, I have been using FireFox and multitabs for a week without bugs.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2020-02-15 07:56:06 UTC
Okay, adding to Wayland tracker.

Comment 3 Carlos Eduardo Arango Gutierrez 2020-02-18 22:32:52 UTC
Update: after 10 uptime days with Xorg, the bug is not present, so is 100% related to Wayland

Comment 4 Christian Kellner 2020-04-06 12:07:57 UTC
Seeing the same thing on F32, Firefox 74.0 (wayland).

Comment 6 Martin Stransky 2020-04-06 12:12:49 UTC
How long does it take until it's broken?
Thanks.

For me: unknown.  It may be usage related (open and move tabs) rather than time related.

Sometimes suspend & resume fixes it.

I haven't had it happen in a while, but I've now seen it again in FF 78, mutter 3.36.3

Comment 8 Bill Nottingham 2020-07-20 19:26:58 UTC
I see this, and it's not just drag & drop of tabs, it's drag and drop anywhere in firefox.

Comment 9 Berend De Schouwer 2020-10-28 10:25:39 UTC
I've seen this once on FF 82, Fedora 33.

When it happened drag&drop-ing a random file into a new firefox tab corrected the bug [1].  So it does appear to be an unfinished drag&drop that gets the tabs stuck.

That would confirm comment 8 in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1622107


[1] new tab to prevent random POST of a file.  random file being really random in case it POST to a search engine.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 11 Ben Cotton 2020-11-24 16:32:00 UTC
Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
