Sometimes when I switch my current tab to a different tab and I accidentally drag the tab on the bar at the same time, Firefox locks up and begins rendering a gray screen. I am still able to change the open tab, because the uppermost bar will display the correct page name, but I can only resume using Firefox by restarting Firefox all together, or pressing alt+F2 and inputting "r". This normally makes Firefox return to normal, but sometimes I am left being not able to click on the URL bar area at all, including my pinned addons, and cannot close the current tab I am in, only tabs I am not viewing. Minimizing and re-maximizing the open window allows me to resume viewing the page I have opened, but once I swap tabs it returns to a gray page.

I tried to reproduce but without luck. Would be great to see a screencast of it so I can try to reproduce it.
Thanks.

Martin, the user responded with a screencast. See attached.

You can see the page actually open when the issue occurs is Wikipedia, despite Google being rendered.

Looks like we fail to quit D&D operation.

I still encounter this issue with firefox 112.0 right now.

Is a fix or workaround available ?

Just figured out that if I disable tab drag images by setting "nglayout.enable_drag_images" to False it appears to fix the issue for me.
