This Bug seems to be Wayland related, I have been using FireFox and multitabs for a week without bugs.
Okay, adding to Wayland tracker.
Update: after 10 uptime days with Xorg, the bug is not present, so is 100% related to Wayland
Seeing the same thing on F32, Firefox 74.0 (wayland).

How long does it take until it's broken? Thanks.
(In reply to Martin Stransky from comment #6) > 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
I see this, and it's not just drag & drop of tabs, it's drag and drop anywhere in firefox.
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.
