I have an issue with abrowser. When I hover the cursor above the abrowser entry in the taskbar, a preview pops up showing a random abrowser tab. The problem is, this tab may have been closed a couple of days ago! I would like to disable this preview feature. It is a potential privacy risk and an annoyance.

Firefox is the only app on Trisquel that creates such a popup. I can find no way to disable this feature in Linux, though there is much info for Firefox on Windows.

Thanks!

It looks like the default behavior of the "Window List" is to display thumbnails on mouse-hover, but not for minimized windows.

You can disable it altogether by right-clicking a few pixels to the left of the window list, clicking on "Preferences" and unchecking the corresponding option.

I just noticed that thumbnails do not seem to be updated when the content of the window changes. This may be the actual bug here. They are only updated if the size of the window is modified (restauring a maximized window or vice versa, or changing window size manually) but not after moving around the window. So if you mostly use Abrowser maximized, the thumbnail may not change for a while.

Prospero-many thanks. I turned off the thumbnail and that solved my issue. I agree that this is probably a bug.
