Disable Tab Detach 2

Disable tab tearing. Prevents unintentionally detaching a tab from the window. When the tab is detached from the window, return it to the original position.

What is Disable Tab Detach 2?
"Disable Tab Detach 2" is a Firefox extension designed to prevent accidental tab detaching. If a tab is mistakenly detached from the window, the add-on instantly restores it to its original position. This functional tool is a fork from Disable Tab Detach. Despite being a simple solution, it enhances user experience by preventing tab displacement. It includes features to temporarily disable and handle pinned tabs effectively, even if several tabs are highlighted. To run in private windows, the add-on should be allowed explicitly.

This add-on could be redundant when Mozilla ships Firefox 74.

Forked from Disable Tab Detach. Moving to an existing window is not prevented. Temporarily disable the add-on by clicking the browser action button. Improved handling of pinned tabs. Revert even if multiple tabs are highlighted. This is just a quick hack. I haven't tested well.

You need to allow the add-on to run in private windows if you use private windows.

I invite you to explore and help me translate this add-on in Crowdin.

Thank you. I was using this one https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/disable-tab-detach/, but it is not working any longer and I searched for an alternative and found this one. Working like a charm so far.
